Irish Rovers, The Dark Island 

31011962singapore what can you say in response to that?- apart from wow! Just wow! And thank you for sharing such a wonderful story about your father. My late paternal grandfather (d. 1995) too was a proud Yorkshireman, Sheffield-born and bred; he served in the Royal Artillery until just after WW2. I’m not from Yorkshire myself but extremely proud to say I have a great affection and affinity with the place. By the way I’ve been searching for this music for years and years and finally found it! So doubly happy 😀

❤️❤️❤️

My father passed away just over a year ago. Now he pissed me off on a daily basis, but I can't believe how much I miss him. I spread his ashes on his favourite Lewis beach and Dark Island fills me with such a deep longing, I ache for the Hebrides. Despite being a dyed in the wool teuchter, my very best friend in the world is a gigantic Yorkshireman.

God bless him Sir 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome. God bless.

How does it feel when you think about it now?

there's a version of this song with lyrics. here's a copy of them Away to the westward I'm longing to be Where the beauties of heaven Unfold by the sea Where the sweet purple heather blooms Fragrant and free On a hilltop high above The Dark Island So gentle the sea breeze That ripples the bay Where the stream joins the ocean And young children play On the strand of pure silver I'll welcome each day And I'll roam for ever more The Dark Island True gem of the Herbrides Bathed in the light Of the midsummer dawning That follows the night How I yearn for the cries Of the seagulls in flight As they circle above The Dark Island

musica buena TU IGUAL publicaste este video solo que con orquesta

@@monkegames6133 have to apologise. the song he mixed with flowers of the forest is the mingualy boat song. however, all three are scottish.

+Yolanda Apagyi It's interesting how you use a lot of outdated revolutionary rhetoric. British people are free to an extent that you have never experienced and they have been so for centuries. The British Empire no longer exists and Scotland has never been a colony. William Wallace didn't shed his blood for Scottish freedom. He was disliked by many of his countrymen. The film Braveheart is total nonsense. His soldiers were not highland Scots, but lowlanders who didn't wear tartan. His own people gave him to the English because he was a warmongering nuisance. Mel Gibson is not very good with history. Wallace never met the English queen because she was only a child when he was executed., You ought to get some books covering Scottish history and you will learn that in 1603, the Scottish king, James VI, was invited to become king of England. He accepted and became James I of England and Scotland. Most Scottish people don't know where Hungary is. However, in 1956, we English gave homes and help to Hungarians who had to leave their country because of the uprising against Russia. Some of my childhood friends were Hungarians in exile. You really ought to visit Scotland to see how wrong you are in your perception of their position. They WERE FREE to vote whether they remained with us or not. They chose to remain with us. That doesn't sound like an oppressed people to me.

Jingo idiot.

Boring zzzzzzz

Yolanda Apagyi You're an idiot,. Even if they did manage to get "freedom" there is no such thing as FREEDOM in today's world, because they still might have joined the equally oppressive European Union
