An ataraireachd àrd (the high surge of the sea)

fear de na h-orain Gàidhlig as ainmeale
one of the most famous Gaelic songs

[@Corrie121]

I have no Gaelic connections or understanding of the language, but I think this is about the most beautiful melody and singing voice I have listened to. I feel exalted on listening to this magic. Thank you for sharing this gem.

Sadness for the space left without you Ishbel. Sing with the Angels. With my deepest respect and sympathy to Ishbel's Family and Friends.

[@normmacsween3421]

As an expat Leodhasach I consider Ishbel's rendition of my Grandad's poem to be one of my favourites.

[@mikekennedy6348]

Very nice it is, my great grandad John MacDonald composed the music for this song.

[@eoghannp8619]

One of the simplest and very best renditions of this beautiful song. No accompaniment required - just an incredibly beautiful and controlled voice. RIP, Iseabail - taken from us far too soon.

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

Don’t understand a word but I love these songs. They reach deep inside my heart and move me to tears ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@joanleckie2609]

This is her song. Nobody can give it the soulfullness like she does

[@alicemaleod]

Just heard a little while ago that Ishbel passed away today, she will be sadly missed. A bright star has gone out in gaeldom. RIP. Ishbel

[@alicequayle4625]

I saw Ishbel sing at Peel Castle on the Isle of Man. If I remember rightly she was sat on a bench singing a capella with Norma Waterson and one other brilliant singer I forget the name of. A magical experience.

[@darkfey1963]

It almost breaks my heart to learn that when I've first discovered Ishbel,she has passed away.I am thankful to have her recordings to listen to,at least...rest in peace,Ishbel.I now know what a gift your voice and your singing of the old Gaelic songs truly is.

[@JerryVanderwaarde]

I feel ashamed for not understanding this singers true gaelic worth before.

[@upoint2]

She was amazing - what a voice! Seeing a prog about her on the tv, she was an extra-special person as well. Rest in peace Ishbel.

[@widdershiznit]

I still can't believe she's gone. Don't you think this would be the sound of heaven?

[@colliderscopic]

i think heaven is more of an Aretha Franklin vibe

[@edwinvanderkooij8713]

A beautiful song and beautiful voice, can hear the sea in her voice... May she be an angel in paradise !

[@archiebrown3719]

Absolutely stunning voice missed by many ❤❤❤💙💙💙

[@MrManhound]

[@alisoncameron63]

[@TheSheenaWellington]

I cannot believe that this glorious voice has been stilled. Goodbye, my dear friend.
