Teaching A Modern Scottish Girl Old Scottish Songs

Teenage girl from Scotland seems unfamiliar with her Celtic roots. Time for a quick education....

Brendan, Love your work. Positively addictive!

[@olaf6987]

Well done Brendan, maybe the Scottish girl will start learning some Scottish songs!

[@sarahc3977]

I'm American, with no Scottish ancestry and I know these songs, then agaigain, I like good music. We had to learn some of them in elementary school, though that was like 22-17 years ago. I guess education has changed. Great performance as always, Dr.K!

[@sarahc3977]

@John Ashtone you're absolutely right. I agree 100%.

[@jimwind7589]

[@old5andimer713]

Brendan, again you amaze me with your abilities to identify with everyone that actually hears the sounds coming from those public pianos with a Master at the keyboard .. More amazingly mate, are the numbers of people, most not even turning their heads as you play .. It simply doesn't equate .. I'm one of your 1.4M subscribers who looks forward to each video posted .. Cheers !

It's brakes my heart to see the descendants of Highlanders not knowing their roots. I'm not Scottish but my heart is with the Scottish and Irish people.

[@portman8909]

This goes for any time in history really. Younger guys and gals are not interested in older tunes. They'll make new, and discover the older tunes when they're older/more experienced.

[@stlouisix3]

I've always been the opposite, I love wir traditional Scottish songs@@portman8909

[@muhammadmirza1985]

Even an Army regiment thousands miles away in Pakistan called Frontier Force (The Piffers) knows more Scottish songs than her. By the way their traditional march is called "The Hundred Pipers".

[@kevanmcgoldrick1756]

Trust me it’s just her. Plenty of Scots know those tunes

[@hughstephenson2957]

I believe it's these millenials that are clueless as to the old songs. I don't care if they're Irish, Scottish or American even.. I stump people all the time at car shows because they don't know 50s and 60s rock and roll and how it shaped modern music!!

[@mrwilliecowie]

Not just Scots this is alarming !

[@lotusfrucht111]

And most people who grew up in the 60s don’t know many songs from the 20s... what’s your point? Get over yourself. Music will always evolve and there will always be a small bunch who appreciate older classics.

The Scottish band, Runrig, popularized a rocked-up version of "Loch Lomond" in the 1980-90s to the point where it was regularly sung at the end of Scottish parties and at football games. The Scots need another band to step up and make it relevant again.

[@garymiles484]

A little late for the party. I, myself am proud to be English, Man of Kent, and I am dismayed that many people have lost touch with their culture to not know or appreciate what it means to be English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish. It is sad that the Irish, Welsh and the Scots are no longer educating the children in the music or even their own language.

[@lesleyriseam1282]

Thats not true , both traditional music and modern composition . Suggest you look up The Mod and Machir . Every small town in Scotland has its own bagpipe and drums band . The number of accordian and fiddle bands , live music pre pandemic was available in most towns . I know this as I am an English woman who learned to sing in Scots and Gaelic .

Sad. I’m an American and even I know, have heard, more songs than a native Scotland tune. This is a sad, very sad, condemnation of our education systems. “You take the high road and I’ll take the low road…”. Much less than the other tune that, we as Americans have appropriated as our own.
