This traditional Scots Gaelic waulking
This traditional Scots Gaelic waulking song is in praise of Alasdair MacDonald, who was the Marquis of Montrose's second-in-command during the War of the Three Kingdoms in Scotland, 1644-45. He was a man of tremendous courage and endurance, and together with Montrose won a series of spectacular victories over the Covenanters and Parliamentarians. He was eventually killed at the battle of Cnoc na nDos near Cork in Ireland in 1647. Very detailed notes of this song can be found in Campbell and Collinson's Hebridean Folksongs volume 2. As in many similar songs, the last part of one verse forms the first of the next.
Performed by Capercaillie, 1988 (The Blood Is Strong).
