Utterly outstanding. Thank you (from a Sassenach).

[@amethystrose5853]

I really want to thank you for playing 'Caledonia' Friday night at Oshkosh, WI back in June. I cannot even begin to really expess how much that song touches my heart. I absolutely love you guys and how much joy your music brings to my life. Many blessings to you all. 💜

[@alisonsimpson125]

Absolutely fantastic love this version

[@21citircdoog02]

I love seeing these guys at the Irish Festival in Milwaukee, WI! Not my favorite rendition of this song, but still a favorite!

[@daveyuke8]

Saw and heard this band in Durham May 2016, BRILLIANT!

[@bigdeb602]

ENJOYED them for 1st time in Dublin, Ohio. I'm hooked!

[@johnnytheglesgabhoy]

Going to see Skerryvore in the old Fruitmarket Glasgow tonight. Saw them in Pitlochry twice and loved every minute of it.

[@lynnmic1417]

Superb version, just love it.

[@richardclayton3392]

Saw them on TV at Tiree and then live in November 2016 in Hampshire. Fantastic, unique and great fun.

[@birtehjermitslev9762]

going to Tønderfestival in Denmark last of august this year and are looking forward to hear them !

[@kathyrisch9672]

[@ladybard]

Was there too and had seen them live for the first time, although I had been listening to their music for over a year

The Official Anthem of Home i think about home all the time I don't know if you can see The changes that have come over me In these last few days I've been afraid That I might drift away So I've been telling old stories, singing songs That make me think about where I came from And that's the reason why I seem So far away today Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Oh and I have moved and I've kept on moving Proved the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing Found others on the way Oh and I have tried and kept on trying Stolen dreams yes there's no denying I have traveled far with conscience flying Somewhere with the wind Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Now I'm sitting here before the fire The empty room, the forest choir The flames that could not get any higher They've withered now they've gone But I'm steady thinking my way is clear And I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow Then I will disappear Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Banned since 1992 election by the BBC!

[@maryemery130]

There is a gaelic theme in everybody! Checked my ancestry and there is plenty of links to Scotland and Ireland - fine man you are!

[@dhoch]

This is a wonderful version of a beautiful song. Best version on the web sort of Dougie himself.

[@vesastenberg2318]

Next thursday 6.9.Second visit in Scotland.Edinburgh this time

[@vesastenberg2318]

[@WhiskyStone]

Super Band, I saw the Band my first time on Islay Festival at Bruichladdich 2015. Since this time I‘ m a real fan. Also good, but a bit different are Skipinnish and Timeline. I‘ m also they saw on the Islay Fastival. All together a high perfomance.

[@lucymclaren9410]

Martin and Daniel Gillespie are brothers!

[@rota090]

they are our cousins, we are very proud here in Gweedore, Co Donegal off them

[@hamishthepolarbear614]

The piper steals the show

[@zoiksandmorezoiks2719]

Drummer I’d say

[@johnaitken8805]

good music lets here the dark isle

[@MalkyMcMillan]

The Southern drawl might grate...

[@Gorantaylis]

Should've voted Yes.

[@cmcc3721]

@ Never a truer word. What Sturgeons trying to sell to the electorate as 'independence' would be prosecuted under the trade descriptions act in any other profession. Selling Scotland oot for her own career development. She's a disgrace.

[@linoma57]

Better together

[@DermConsult]

Not the best rendition I have ever heard. The words are so important in this song that clear singing is imperative.

[@walkernick86]

Ian McColl Totally agree. Not sure what this American wannabe was u to!

[@swisspalms]

Einfach genial! I was there! Wo kann ich das ganze Konzert-Video bekommen?

[@skotten3]

The chap’s diction is not very clear unfortunately...

[@OldDunollieman]

Wash yer lugs oot, we unnerstaun him fine.

[@sk065]

True story

[@akbj2779]

Like the song but can't believe how much time the guy spent talking before they finally started playing.

[@fmorant2222]

why does he slur the words????? sound like he's singing in a phony American accent???? WHY.. HE'S SCOTTISH,!!!

[@artistmofo]

knk12345 deans is a shithole

[@walkernick86]

I agree. Sad really. Good otherwise. But trying for a cheesy transatlantic American rock style is way off! It should be sung ina traditional folk manner. Hey ho!

[@STKL-bk8wq]

Sounds like at least one dram too much...

[@kingfisher5150]

Can't you enunciate or play in the proper timing? Have you ever heard Dougie sing this song?

[@walkernick86]

To all you Americans... listen to a ‘real’ version where the singer sings clearly, with a traditional Scottish accent, and not a cheesy rock band drone with slurred words! :-)

[@TristanandIsolt]

I love this version. I love the original more.

[@cmcc3721]

You're a bit triggered pal. Calm doon hahahahhaa

[@linoma57]

Hes bloody awful

[@Fleurbunny]

Cover songs are not supposed to sound identical to original. They’re supposed to ‘make it their own’. You just sound miserable. I loved this as much as original, gave me goosebumps 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Theagchm]

If I wanted the Irish to sing this song...............

[@cmcc3721]

If i wanted the French....to sing about Holland haha

[@CarlosDiaz-ms7jv]

[@garethhartley2067]

sorry but his voice has ruined this song

[@utterlycutterly1]

Nice voice but not pronunciation poor

[@lucymclaren9410]

utterlycutterly1 Doesn't matter

[@weekendwet1]

... and you lost the vote. Get over it.

[@crazeeejoe]
