[@michaelbrophy120]

Me and my wife were at this concert absolutely amazing atmosphere with skye what an amazing band especially in barrowlands ballroom

[@Suzycat1000]

This song never fails to raise my spirits and Donnie's voice is a gift from the gods for sure.

[@murdomacleod9242]

Suzycat1000 I completely agree; Donnie's voice is just amazing

[@bigterrapin5472]

I really like the bassists voice! Compliments Donny's really well

[@TravelAnorak]

Donnie has always been the voice of Runrig for me!

[@beachmountain8834]

Bloody amazing! Saw them with this very sóng in Tonder 1986, Took the very lights out of me!

[@alanlogan250]

Still listening 2023

[@TravelAnorak]

Me too. This is one of my favourite live Runrig songs. Donnie is an amazing singer.

[@1950BobbyF]

This is one incredibly arousing performance & Donnie gets about as wild as the audience. Ach, you can tell he's so proud to be from Skye!

[@1950BobbyF]

@mapex016 - Ach, still fighting the old battles. I've been a fan of Runrig since the beginning. They were great with Donnie on lead vocals & they've been great with Bruce on lead vocals. The heart of Runrig has always been Rory & Colum. The old songs were great & the newer songs are great. Runrig is Runrig is Runrig & long may they still bring joy to millions!

[@TheRuprechtKroenen]

I'm no Scotsman, not even English (Sassenach) yet this song drives tears in my eyes..

[@islogical]

How can't you see... I love Scotland... I am proud to be a Highlander!!!

[@AdrianCrimi]

still listening in Dec 2024...Amazing band.

[@bustacapinlutha]

Love this -- sending all the love I can from Texas and Oregon of the US. What a voice.

[@steelernation1989]

bustacapinlutha slàinte!

[@jillbaker988]

Runrig are amazing! Seen them live several times and this song just gets the place rockin'…..

[@knoxieiscoolshorts]

More than a band, Scottish heroes

[@johnnyboy7231]

seen them long time ago up in Dornoch before they made it a household name in Scotland, love them, great vocals and music ... Johnny boy..

[@markh8312]

I do only hope they film it for us that cant make it, tried so hard to get time off but just not poss, followed them since as a fresh 18yo after I was posted to RAF Buchan in 1975, The music I found in Scotland over the years that followed was so wonderful Runrig and Pallas being highlights among so many. I personally will miss this band so much, as much as I miss the The Capitol in Aberdeen where all my early live shows were watched. Fond memories of a simpler era. Runrig thank you so much for being part of it........PS it is such a very great shame that it has taken the BBC nationally so long to put them on a playlist, shame on you to little to late

[@bigterrapin5472]

Here here. They are a piece of scottish heritage in their own right

[@stephengoddard4719]

Typical of the BBC

[@SuperBlackted]

Despite being a Scot I've only just got into this lot, what a great band, cheers for the upload

[@twoleggedgroover]

Thanks for uploading all these Runrig videos. My mum had the VHS of this and we wore that video out.

[@frslam]

sitting here, in Skye, listening to this and hoping for a FREE SCOTLAND! (regularly see Donnie and Malcolm in the village). I was once a Soldier and Piper in the Scots Guards, I would take this music south with me about 1987-88 and nobody within my circle had heard it before. Awesome stuff! SAOR ALBA!

[@bigcrags]

I was at this very gig. Best concert I ever went to. :-) Froze for about an hour outside in a t-shirt. It was about -3C in the east end that night.

[@Frakokk]

It was absolutely freezing that night. Absolutely fantastic gig though and well worth freezing for.

[@4plum]

What year was the concert? Saw them tons of times when at Glasgow Uni, then emigrated, then alas no more :-(

[@susanjoandrysdale6226]

I was there ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

[@gizmo39114]

Saw them sing this at Edinburgh Playhouse 1991 wi ma Dad, and friends :) , also at Balloch, Loch Lomond... good times :)

[@talisker1001]

Best Band forever

[@sandraarrell2802]

Scottish rock at it's very best

[@connardonnelly9051]

Sandra Arrell sang by a unionist

[@adl9685]

@@connardonnelly9051 that is not relevant

[@amackinnon2252]

Really nothing like them, great memories. One of the best is of me and Marion singing Dust to Malcolm Jones in the Tongadale, very badly indeed. We found it amusing.

[@gavrfc09]

The best band ive ever seen live with donnie and bruce!

[@bennevis43]

Happy memories of ricking it with runrig at the barras

[@The_Wasp016]

I'm a drummer from Dunfermline and have had the priviledge of meeting them, Runrig is not Runrig without Donnie on vocals, It's like chrismas without Santa. x

[@lisastewart5977]

been singing this in my head for the past 2 days so had to come and watch it again :)

[@johnhopkinson1333]

Brilliant.

[@alpinista2000]

This is wonderful, thank you.

[@scottishalwaysdixie1638]

Flower of Scotland in our Hands 🤗

[@gizmo39114]

Myself and my late Dad just loved Runrig in the 90s, I saw them at Loch Lomond, and me and my Dad and friends saw them at Edinburgh Playhouse, on same tour :) I have the video .. The Big Wheel??

[@richleeson2160]

The unmistakable voice of Donnie

[@michaelsinclair5598]

Runrig should be a Scottish treasure

[@gizmo39114]

[@Chrisamusic1]

Magnificent. While Malcom deserves the plaudits for that soring riff, I LOVE Rory's bass line in this song. Just the right amount of notes and all the right notes. Beautiful.

The best anthem for Scotland if it wasn't for them Lowlanders

[@connardonnelly9051]

Kim Noble they bastards aren't scottish kim the welcome sign to Scotland should be relocated to Callander and Perth should be reinstated as the capital.

[@duncancallum]

Scotland was defended at the borders against England not in the Highlands dick head .

[@inexofilmsne6207]

A man of your format ought to know that Santa is a Coca Cola invention, and we would better off without. You go tell em´ lads: Give it up fellas, it is no good. And sure they will drop dead one after the other, to bring the world back to true order. You will have a monument in the end, you can count on that.
