A voice so beautiful and perfect that one might be mistaken for thinking we are listening to angels. Absolutely spine chillingly gorgeous and a beaming light in so much darkness. Especially in this sad year of 2020.

These Gaelic songs speak to my soul. Sometimes I wonder if I was Scottish in a past life

Gaeilge Gaelic came from Ireland it was the Irish Gaels who brang Gaeilge Gaelic to Scotland and Isle of man the Scottish were pics from picland spoke pictish teanga chumhachtach na nGael 🇮🇪⚓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@hopefulperson9057]

The Irish populated Scotland, more or less decimated the picts and then absorbed the remainder. A historic fact some deny because of religion and politics, another Gaelic trait the clan rivalry 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

from a scot , welcome home xxx

[@nadiamurchie1949]

the gaels are a tribe some say originating from ireland under a leader from egypt. the mother of the gaels is said to be meritaten. or scota ..as the romans called her. she is supposed to be buried in county kerry. the scota people who moved from ireland to scotland after she died became the scots. or scotii along with hibernii, they had land on the west, and eventually the picts scotti the welsch of strathclyde and the scandinavians eventually blended into who we are today. there will be more additions through time we are not taught of. we are an eclectic mix indeed and peace to us all.

[@mrsuperger5429]

Such a beautiful voice and music. Best wishes, from Scotland.

A beautiful, heart-gladdening performance. -And the graphics! The transition of nature scenes from Autumn through to Summer is brilliant.

[@MarcelGomesPan]

I love this. ❤️

[@russellsnyder2634]

I love the way you sing this, Alison. I haven't heard another performance that gives importance to the leading tone in the third verse. That, in a song that is pentatonic except for the leading tone, makes the whole song more expressive in a subtle way. I heard the Scots are frugal. Listening to this song shows how that can be desirable.

[@kristenm8306]

"love and light of my heart?" I may have any colloquial translation wrong but even so, if this is near the English translation of the title of this song, it fits beautifully & sounds literally like that (love/light/my heart) :) and still a year after @Kory mentioned it & 5 years after it was uploaded, there are STILL only 2 soulless people who could dislike a piece as beautiful as this. I have hope for humanity (on YT at least) yet... The only thing I dislike about it is that I wish it were 4x as long so I could listen to her sing this even longer. ❤️

It is a Scots-Gallic. The Ulster dialect of Irish is the most mutually understandable dialect of Irish to Scots-Gallic.
