Thank you for this lovely, traditional folksong from Scotland. Please note that in Scottish Gaelic, a "loch" is a lake, and "bonnie" means beautiful. The "banks" mean the land beside a lake. Why not visit Scotland & experience the enchanting beauty of Loch Lomond, Scotland's largest lake, only 30 miles from Glasgow? As you gaze at this stunning scenery, recall the lyrics and melody of this historic song. Oct 10, 2023 10:30 P M.
