I played this at my Dads funeral.He was my absolute hero,he walked all of his life and Adored Scotland and it’s history.He climbed most of her mountains and fished most of her lochs and rivers.He raised my two younger sisters and me the same way,to be proud of who we are and he just loved the Corries.❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I met my husband in 1965, we married a year later. A few years later he went climbing in the Scottish Highlands for the first time with a few friends. He decided he would have to take his daughter and I to see the beauty of our country. We have never looked back. We have explored our country all over, and I will be ever gratefull to my lovely husband for showing us the majesty of our homeland. Sadly, he left us a year ago, but he left us with so much. He took us by the hills to the land where fancy is free. We love the songs that praise our amazing country, they will be with us always.thank you my Drew.

As a Folk group we supported the Corries 60 years ago in what was the Playhouse Cinema in Fort William. We were called The Nevis Folk Four. Happy days.

The Corries have been with me for these last four decades - they are what my heart tells me it wants to listen to ...bards of a long lost time. Music is pure magic and a time traveling device, so thanks to them these old times are not lost.

This makes one wish that the Corries could have carried on forever! Thank God their music has been preserved!

Oh come by the hills tae the land where fancy is free

[@annedwards1900]

One of their most beautiful songs. Roy's had the loveliest of voices and the combolins in this song are just wonderful. Oh how they are missed.

I had the privilege of meeting Roy Williamson a couple of years before we lost him. He and Ronnie Brown were stars but they still had that folk club humanity where all are equal and a guy from the crowd can come to talk mandolin strings and be welcomed. A brief chat after a lovely gig - which left their satin shirts drenched - but it's treasure for me. There's another Williamson and that's the legendary Robin of The Incredible String Band. Up there with the gods in so many ways but always down here with us. We exchanged scarves in 1982. The divas could learn a lot from Ronnie and Roy and Robin - and Carthy and MacColl and Seeger and KirkPatrick and Prior and Garbutt and others I've met - and that is, if you sing the songs of the people, their struggles, hopes and loves, you are one of the people. If you spend your time up there with the gods, you forget life down here. All those I've named - and others - impressed me deeply because, although they are - and were; some have moved on - musicians and lyricists of the highest order, they are still part of us, the people. Happy daze. x

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Roy was a genius! The Combolin has a lovely sound.

Love this song, First heard Finbar Furey's version a few years back. Greetings to our Celtic brothers and sisters across the water.

[@seanpauldoherty5658]

Only recently heard this song , it's a very beautiful song very beautifully sung by these men. 5 stars 👏👏🖐🖐

I love how years after one of their deaths, this music can still touch the Scottish heart of this yankee boy. My family came from Ireland and mostly Scotland on both sides of my family. I've never been, but I still long for that beautiful country.

[@aileenlightbody91]

This has always been one of my favourite Corries' songs.

[@VinnyMartello]

[@alexanderdallas8560]

[@moraggrant9856]

I want this played at my funeral. I love Roy Williamson singing this song and the combolins make it so beautiful and soulful.
