The singer for this Gaelic song is Kathleen Graham from the Isle of Skye. Kathleen will give you detailed help with the Gaelic pronunciation and the melody, in phrase by phrase tuition in this comprehensive lesson.

This is a waulking song. It is a selection of verses from a very long song. It is about the distances and places a man will go for his sweetheart if she will promise to marry him. Waulking songs in Scots Gaelic are called orain luaidh, and are songs, traditionally sung by women while waulking cloth.

This involves a group of people beating newly woven tweed rhythmically against a table or similar surface to soften it. These simple, beat-driven songs were used to accompany the “waulking”.
