From Wiki: The loch is a popular spot for salmon fishing, and many of its surroundings feature in the traditional Scottish 'Loch Tay Boat Song' (Scottish Gaelic, Iorram Loch Tatha). This is a very sad song in which the protagonist muses on unrequited love for a red-haired woman (a Nighean ruadh) whilst rowing at the end of a working day. It has been recorded by Liam Clancy and The Corries amongst others.Also, The film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" filmed the famous (?) scene with the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog at Tomnadashan Mine on the east bank of the loch.

I so love this song. The melody is enchanting and even though the message is rather sad, it is truly a love song. Sung only as you and your sweet voice can sing it. Thank you for this video, John.

I haven't heard this one before, what a beautiful melody and lovely lyrics. I love how your voice is still as clear and wondrous as it always has been.
