[@dorothyboddice9901]

As a Scottish person living away from home for over 40 years this makes me cry and hope to go home before I die 😢

[@fishsupper1263]

I've lived abroad for 25 years, when I die my body will be buried in scotland. Where else would I find peace

[@Utube74674]

Come home people! Rest your soul

[@toniomalley5661]

Sweetheart I’m Irish and I’d help fund your ticket

[@richardcreighton2683]

Welcome back anytime. God bless. X

[@ZetaMclaughlin]

Beautiful! My husband ,a Scot, died last year. He had a Catholic Mass and was carried out to Caledonia. Cry every time I hear it.

[@rodrigofuentes3491]

Your tears show that you truly loved your husband. He was blessed with your love. Receive an affectionate hug from MEXICO. I'm mexican, but I love SCOTLAND too.

[@douglasfell4199]

Catholic or protestant and everyone else, we are all Scots that's who we are.

[@johnwatt5921]

Sorry for your loss please know that Scotland rarely forgets it's sons and daughters and anyone who loved them.

A wonderful song that my beautiful 30 year old (mother of 2 gorgeous children)niece Fiona had played at her funeral in 2020 after dying from the dredded cancer . She was such a beautiful young Scottish lass who absolutely loved her Scotland. It's a fantastic song but breaks my heart listening. X we will never forget you FIONA X

Scotland, England loves you!!

[@sharonmurray1645]

Scotland Loves England too, but It’s supposed to be a “Union”. It can’t really be a “Union” if you have to ask for permission to leave.

When barbara and Eddie kick in, WOW!!!

[@Rock-bm2cw]

As a musician and bagpiper, I had the unbelievable pleasure sharing a stage with Dougie in 1997.

[@tomkastle]

There are 4 "thumbs down"? Who are these soulless cretins? You need to listen again.. or better still, go on the road for a few years and listen again. There may still be hope for you. Best of everything to you.

Great comments. They must have a hearing issue or are just plain soulless.

[@piercebyrne23]

I want to dedicate this song to a Scottish friend who passed away September 23 ,he lived in Ireland (Ashbourne)for 20 odd years,Rip Iain Sneddon ,I will never forget you.

[@derekstewartmacpherson6230]

This may be my favourite version. What a line up! Talk about musical royalty. Very special.

[@jimlyon7276]

Au contrare ! Too much clutter as this version has too many people getting in between us & the sentiments - This is FAR superior, as less is simpler ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYGbcmyoqcxjn6s

[@colinwhite5355]

Some soulless algorithms, on here, decided to place this before me; I’m so, so glad it did. How have I managed not to cross paths with this beautiful song in the last 68 years? I live in Caledonian Road, Hartlepool, and it’s the loveliest home I’ve ever had. Poignant.

[@Mo-xx9gg]

Welcome to a beautiful song!

[@joyceaijala395]

Celtic Thunder were the first people I heard sing this. Different voices, the same beauty.

[@elainespeirs7800]

Google glasgow commonwealth games closing ceremony Caledonia. I was there and it was electric. The whole of Hampden stadium sung it

[@bipedalame]

Heard this song in Melbourne and Sydney saying goodbye to my Irish English Welsh and Canadian friends in 2003. I cried when it was my turn to go home to Glasgow

[@doseyjosey1010]

i used to sing this to my residents in my old job, they've all passed on.. the last one passed a month ago, tears!!!!!!

[@Padraig50]

Absolutely fantastic, should be scotlands national anthem, from the hills of Donegal 🇮🇪☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@garyroe2929]

Why hasn’t this been viral it’s absolutely brilliant 👍👍✝️

[@alancarlyon340]

Walking through the hills and glens, wearing my old MP3 player who is my old friend, recordings of Scots songs that I wish never end! Walking past the Loch on a hot summers day, bump into a cloud of Midges that get in the way, but that is Scotland, what more can I say, apart from wishing you all well when you come visit and stay, so much to see and visit, so have a good day!

[@bridgetpestell4617]

Sounds idyllic, I dream to visit Scotland & walk near the Lochs. Having Caledonia playing in the back ground would be heavenly. When I hear Steve Balsamo sing it with the Scottish Dragoon guards, I melt. Bagpipes make me very emotional for some reason. I'm not Scottish but have very strong Celtic roots in my DNA. 🙂

Jesus, I'm sitting in Paisley and you've got me greeting. Love the Jimmy Moon guitar that Dougie is playing.

[@Hava744]

I am not jealous of much but I would give anything to have a beautiful singing voice like these ladies . The sheer physical and emotional satisfaction they must get from singing a song like this seems so unfair .

[@DavidHughesDTM]

Love this song. I'm Welsh married to a Scot, and have been singing this song in my shower since 1978. It expresses some of my feelings, and as a migrant to Australia and folk music aficionado, I'm grateful to DOUGIE MACLEAN for writing it, and this ensemble for singing it. iT WARMS MY HEART :)

Lovely. I hadn’t heard this song before - but then I am English. I can hear you Scots saying, “Poor bloke!”

[@johnash826]

As a Scot who has lived longer out of Scotland than I ever did, I think this is beautiful. Sentiments that can be applied to wherever you might have come from. No I am not returning to live in Scotland, just visit and dodging the rain!😂 My family is here in England and they are pretty important!👍

[@angelahenderson3130]

As someone who lived in Guildord for may years (and is still my second home), this song absolutely sums up why I had to come back home. Whilst I hopefully will go back to Guildord before my pilgramage on earth is over, only a Scots person can understand this song. And no I do not support the SNP as us Brits are brothers and sisters together and Thank God for it Love Angela x
