I am an American of Irish ancestry, of the McCarthy clan, 58 yrs old.... I grew up as a kid listening to the Beatles etc...and played in rock and roll bands as a teen youth....and I just LOVE THIS MUSIC SO SO MUCH ....I feel it in my heart ...I cry whenever I hear the Corries sing these old songs....(so many of the Scot's songs are so sad)......so beautiful, it touches me right into my heart.... perhaps I had some ancient connections of my ancestral past to the Scots....because I sure do identify with these songs...The way the Corries sing them is truly magical too...It would be so GREAT if a couple young guys in Scotland, who were good singers too, were to take up the guitar and learn all these old songs , and continue this wonderful traditional sound to keep it alive....and not let it fade into the mists of time....

This video is good in so many ways, as it spotlights the Corries' special talents. First the pipes and Ronnie's wistful voice sets a melancholy mood that is reinforced by Roy's gentle echoes. Then, underscored by the guitars, the pace picks up and Roy's lyrical and lilting tone, joined by Ronnie's subtle harmony, warms the listener's heart. A breeze is blowing and all is well with the world.

I also absorbed a love of language, an anarchic passion for life, a sense of social justice and - possibly - a certain sentimentalism. I should probably judge all places equally, but Scotland will always be deep in my soul and the source of much of the best in me. I grew up listening to The Corries and all I have to say is; "Don't be Scunners" ;-)

This is why those men stood there for an hour until one of the Chieftain's officer's had had enough and charged. And I'm positive Charlie was forced to leave by his loyal staff.

Not only that, but many dreadful things done to Scots in Scotland were in fact perpetrated by fellow Scots. The massacre at Glencoe was carried out by Scottish troops, the Killing Times were mostly carried out by Scottish troops & don't presume the Highland clansmen weren't averse to commit the ocassional war crime either. There were Scots on both sides at Culloden. Many of the landlords responsible for the Clearances were in fact Scots. People use the English as a scapegoat far too often.
