Yes, indeed. Roy's reading of this is perfect. I think eventually he will be recognized as one of the great song stylists of the century. And, I hope, not just among folk singers. Over the years, he developed a profound ability to reach into and then express the heart of songs such as Loch Lomond which, in other versions, were nothing but a trite little trifle, rather than the deeply sad tale of commitment and loss they were intended to be.

Essa egregora, essa energia dos ancestrais celtas é tão forte e acentuada que ela se revela até nas canções cantadas por homens, e sentidas nos corações de quem não é escocês e nem fala sua língua nativa para compreende-las, isso não é questão de entender, isso é o sentir da essência, uma coisa inexplicável e muito nobre, o espírito da tradição celta, nao só da Escócia, mas do povo celta no geral, muito bom, impressionante música, e o que ele consegue nos transmitir por ela, uma saudade de uma coisa que nem sabemos oque é.

[@Honestmanayr]

Great version of the song which was written after the Jacobite rising when two Jacobites were imprisoned in a jail in Carlisle. One was to die and the other escaped thus the high road and the low road. We will have freedom from Westminster and there is no hatred of the English.

[@aileenlightbody91]

Just to clarify - according to legend the living took the High Road to wherever they wanted to go, while the dead took the Low (or Spirit) Road, which is why the soldier who was about to die said he'd get to Scotland before the surviving one did because his spirit would be able to go there immediately, only his beloved would never be able to see him, so therefore the song is a lament (as sung here) and not the jolly rousing song favoured by those who only see its Scottish aspect.

I spent in Scotland the whole year and from the first moments I loved it. Even though at the beginning I really missed my home back in the Czech republic, at the end I felt like true Scot. Hope I will get an opportunity to see this country full of breathtaking nature and friendly people once again!!! I really miss you, bonnie Scotland!!!! Jan from the Czech rep.

i first heard this song at lomond shore in 2003. liked it ever since. it sounds better with some bagpipes sounds while you are standing alone looking at the mountains & valleys near Glencoe. That's what I did.. it was beautiful and sad.

It's funny coming back over a decade later and seeing what I wrote. And it still stands true.

Hauntingly sad and beautiful at the same time.

I wish I had visited Scotland while stationed at Mildenhall. My mother many years later told me about my Scottish and English blood. Parents, tell your kids about the family history.

My traditional New Year's post now. A whole decade has passed since I first discovered this video, heard this voice and this version of the song. What a chance discovery can lead to. And what a rewarding decade for my appreciation of music.

The Corries are fantastic. It's a pleasure and privilege to listen to them sing and play their music.
