In Scotland, people often refer to close males as "son" and close females as "hen". This can be anyone your peer or junior, friend or family, but never someone older than you. Nice to hear that Scottish quirks still show up on the other side of the world!

English Translation: I'm often searching on the highest hilltop Trying to find the boatman Will you come tonight or tomorrow? If you don't come at all, I'll be distraught Sèist: Chorus (after each verse): Oh boatman 'sna horo eile Oh boatman 'sna horo eile Oh boatman 'sna horo eile My best wishes go with you wherever you may be My heart is broken, bruised Often tears are running down my cheeks Will you come tonight or will I wait up for you But close the door, sighing heavily? My love promised me a dress of silk He promised me that and a gray tartan A gold ring where I'd see my reflection But I'm afraid he has forgotten I will be forever tearful and dejected Like a wild swan wounded and broken Wailing its song of death on some weedy pond Left by the others, alone and abandoned

Do you know the history of the Jewish political refugees, who fled after the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth? They came to our island and went further, calling themselves The Hebredis Islands, meaning being of Hebrew. Scots occupied the northern part of the Irish island, but when the Irish developed a warring chieftain clan system, they sold and moved to the Scottish island. You should find The General Scottish Register and The Royal Scottish Register, created by those "Christian" Jewish refugees when they arrived, to account for everyone born since.

My family were also Jacobites. It pains me when people say we aren't Scottish. My family fought for their freedom whether someone agrees with it or not. Then forcibly evicted from their ancestral lands. I am proud to have two distinct sides to my family, one American and one Scottish. The '45 was beyond a tragedy, the least that someone could do is let the descendants of Jacobites call themselves by the nationality they love and spend every waking day learning about.

@@fodge5395 The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms did terrible things to their neighbours, and this sadly carried on well into the previous century. But if there's one thing I know, it's that progress can never be made whilst people still cling on to past grievances, and deliberately keep wounds open. The time of kingdoms is over, and as a Scottish person, it disappoints me when scots get on their nationalistic high-horse. I'm not motivated by religious or cultural biases, but I do know that united, the British isles forged the largest empire the world has ever seen. Unity means strength, and I can honestly say in the last 200 years Scotland has had very little to complain about as part of Britain. So I can only surmise that the SNP and their ilk are simply playing on minor complaints and nationalistic impulses to gain political power.

So we now know 47 people on this earth have literally no ears. I've grown up with Gaelic music as a huge influence and support mechanism. When I was just tiny my family lived in a tiny village (Roskill) on the Isle of Skye. They ran the guest house until they moved down to the north east. Many times I've visited Scotland but when I'm not there there is a hole in my soul that was left knowing I cannot be in Scotland. I began learning Gaelic and one day I plan to live back on the Hebrides. I hate the north east, I am an outcast, and no one believes in Scottish because I've lived with my mum my whole life and she has a very British accent I seem to have inherited. This beautiful song always brings a tear to my eye as faint memories of Skye flash through my mind, and the haunting fiddle in this is just a beautiful touch... edit: if you are listening to this on a phone, plug you're headphones into a computer instead and put the volume up. Trust me the sound is far more pure!

Far more to an identity than an accent. I hope you got along well with the language. Best of luck to you. Slàinte.

My grandfather's favorite song but he sang it in Scots Gaelic and faster, probably to keep the pace milling (working woolen fabric). He died back in the 70s when I was 8, of a generation who spoke Gaelic as their first language. Their story is told in The Last stronghold by Margret Bennet.

Thanks for your note. I will look for this book. Weaving and fabric were important aspects of Gaelic life. My grandparents also spoke Gaelic and some family were involved in weaving on the Hebrides.

They say a mystical energy lies within Gaelic/Celtic languages... and when you listen to languages such as Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh and Cornish, it's no wonder why that's said. The people who speak them, the places their breath haunts... any human on Earth would feel grounded there, even if they have no ties whatsoever. Of course it was these people who bore druids, Wicca, Christian Mysticism and many other mystical ways and practices. Might they all be blest.
