The fiddle tune at the end has many names but is usually called Malcom Finlay (sometimes spelled "Malcom Findlay") for those who were wondering. John MacDonald used to play it in Cape Breton so it is a well known tune up there.

This tribute to Bruce Cockburn was in the 2000’s. In the time since, Raylene Rankin died of breast cancer, and John Morris Rankin (piano) died in a car accident. They wrote great songs, sang beautiful Gaelic songs as well, and performed around the world. Cape Breton’s finest export. ❤️🇨🇦✌️

Whenever I come across music from the Rankins (in any configuration of their family bands) I can't stop listening. What a talented family of musicians and performers.

They were real troopers. Despite all of the feedback and squeals from the sound system they just kept on singing perfectly.

Mary (spelt in English was her legal name) was alive until quite recently as well Mary C. MacNiven, is even a video here on youtube of her. Was originally in Gaidhlig Mairi Bhan meaning Fair haired or Blonde Mairi, when she won the gold medal at the National Mod in 1934 to commemorate it essentially. Was later translated into English and changed quite a lot to what this is. Was the original song in Gaidhlig kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZeyo3eZjr6SiLc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpnGlmxvrsSUlaM
