Hi. I'm French, 72 years old today and I was on Ninian rig in 1977/78. Your country is mind too. Best wishes from Christian.

Its a stalking song..search the glens below for a fine 10 pointer or a royal-o (stags)

[@kennysmith22]

Give to me a rifle and set me on the trail High hills before me, the early sunshine pale Rising o`er the maiden and reflecting on Firemore High on the hillside the royal rivals roar. Chorus:Show me Airigh `n Eilean, below me Loch Maree, Leave me to my solitude and let me wander free To climb the rocky mountains and to search the glen below For a fine ten pointer or a royal `o`. Take me where the falcon and the wild eagle soar One mile north from the bothy at Carnmore. On lofty Beinn a Chaisgein I will stalk the royal stag And thrill to the call of the wild grey lag. Over heather moorland a wandering I will go Slioch in the distance beneath a vale of snow Forever standing guard over bonny Loch Maree Home of the wild deer so beautiful and free. Take me where I faintly see the distant Isle of Lewis Show me all this world and there`s one place I would choose To represent the beauty of my homeland fair The Loch Maree islands from the heights of Ardlair. When the light is fading and the day is wearing through You`ll find me heading west to the village of Poolewe Farewell to bonny Kernsary my wandering footsteps guide Through the pale woods of Inveran by the riverside.

By any chance, did you play shinty for Skye? I only ask as I’m from Lewis.

I used to think the late Calum Kennedy did this quite well. But now surpassed.

Anyone know / work out the Lyrics?

[@drewmadin8617]

Its sung in Scotts Gaelic

[@elitesas-nl8xo]

Im Scottish gaelic

[@EwanMacNeilage]

It's not Gaelic at all apart from the place names. I can't find the lyrics anywhere though.

[@EwanMacNeilage]

"Show me Arrigh an Eilean, below me Loch Maree. Lead me to my solitude and let me wonder free To climb the rocky mountains and search the glen below, For a fine ten-pointer or a Royal-o!"
