Another one straight into my favourites Iain, you have a rare knack of twinning the music with images that actually enhance the music. Great stuff my friend. Scotty (Iowa)USA

@Uistman59 Hey I'm a Canadian Macmillan and I traced my family back to South Uist with Neil Macmillan, or Archibald I think I can't remember which one atm, he left S Uist in 1799. Does anyone you know have any info on the Macmillans of that region?

what the hell is doing here a portrait of an Afganistan girl

[@UISTMAN59]

Deliberately put there to get a rise out of unthinking people like you :) It works perfectly. You could have commented on the other incongruous aspects in this song about a girl carrying a peat creel such as the girl with the scythe, or the fishseller or the Irish girl, you could have commented on the song or on any other aspect of the hard life these girls led but no, you picked up on the fact that one girl was Afghan. Strange or "Neonach" as we say in Gaelic.

UISTMAN59 thanks for making me think. A true artist no idiot :)

[@Lisnageeragh]

@@UISTMAN59 Never saw a scythe as shown or many of the creel types where I came from in central Ireland where there were Scottish influences...like me these folk were before me too and snowflakes arrived.

Yes found the same image connected to Agghanistan. Which is correct?
