Beautiful song.

My brother died 7 years. This was his favourite song, not so much mine because I was fed up of him singing it day in day out. Caledonia was played at his funeral and everytime i heard it since he died it made me burst into tears. I just couldn't listen to it :( So many times I got up and walked out of a room if it came on and 7 years of family gatherings without him, someone/everyone got up and sang his favourite song. A few weeks ago it came on the radio while i was driving and I didn't cry. I guess that means after 7 years I'm after coming to terms with the loss of my brother. Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time ❤

When my daughter aged 29 took her own life in 1993, I was devastated as anyone can imagine. But, immediately after her passing, a song came into my mind which wouldn't go away and it was .. 'Caledonia. ' I didn't want a song in my head, but it wouldn't stop and at that time I had no idea that my daughter was communicating with me from spirit. The piece that came to me was just the chorus - 'Let me tell you that I love you and think about you all the time....' (I often say to folks now that when anyone passes into the spirit world, they go home....) Now, I am aware that spirit communicates with me by songs. Music is definitely food for the soul .

Makes me think of my Scottish Mum, whom I lost in January. Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time. RIP Mum xxx

This song is so brilliant because it’s universal. It captures the longing we all have for a place we call home, wherever we’re from. There’s nothing chauvinistic about it - a national song that is international in sentiment - we all have our own personal Caledonia.

The great Dolores was the one who brought this brilliant Sottish song to prominence. We Irish seem to have great PROes, and I have no wish to denigrate our lovely music, but there is great Scots, and English, music, and we all know what great singers the Welsh are. When I was trying to teach music to youngsters I used to tell them to try everything from Traditional to Classical, and not get bogged down in one genre.. There is some great Pop music out there also.☺☺☺☺☺☺

Tonight I lost 1 of my best friends I came home from Australia in 07 and she heard dis on a cd I had an she loved it we always use to play dis over and over, Fly high now hun I'll never forget u biddy xxx.

A lovely red head and beautiful voice all in one pure magic

There is beautiful place for us all beyond this fallen realm, our real home! For Jesus says, I go now and prepare a place for you, according to your fruits, the good deeds you've all bore, they are all written in your book of Life. Be of Good cheer this is not where it all ends, but just a beginning for our young souls. Shalom

My fav version of this song ,I think it's the Galway west of Ireland accent ,love it

This is the most beautiful song of all times...

One of my favorites 💝

Dolores is the kind it takes time to come to love and then you fall in love and her versions of oft-recorded songs are always best. 'The wind that shakes the barley,' for example. Of course 'You'll never be the sun' is in the pantheon of songs.

My aunt sings this a lot and she is absolutely beautiful singing it. She sings it perfectly and it's brilliant hearing her.

I love this song really makes you think about not just where you come from but other places you've been to and fell in love with and had to leave all the places you'll miss the most

This is lovely❤❤ i had a great loss my self and know that in spirit they are with us especially when we meditate on ❤

The best version I ever heard of this song was sung by the barmaid in the Sir Colin Campbell, Kilburn High Road about ten years ago.

Excellent from Edinburgh

What a voice!

My little sis sang this the night before i went away for 4 yrs in 2016. Shit so mad has happened since then that a book about it would be censorsed. Im just out now nd listening to this version of this song for the first time since then. The lyrics are up there with the best of all time. Dolores voice is incredible. time to get back up nd kick the fuck out of life nd its bullshit.

always a delight to hear this ... not sure that there is a better version

WOW...,beautiful song...

I think this is best version of this song that I heard and it's easy to follow with the lriyc. I heard celtic thunder sing this song it's nice but,I prefer this one.david cunningham.

@@StrathpefferJunction I appreciate your response, Strathpeffer Junction, but I don't agree. I think anyone from any background who has a true heart and a true soul can sing any song with passion, feeling, and deep-felt love. I once responded to someone who criticized the great singer/actor/humanist Paul Robeson's singing of the Hebrides Isles song "Eriskay Love Lilt", because Paul Robeson was American and Black. Paul Robeson sang songs in many languages from all over the world. His singing of Yiddish songs was truly done with passion, feeling, and deep-felt love. I think Dolores Keane sang this song with true feeling, and yes, I do like Dougie Maclean's version the best, not because he is Scots, but because it is his song....
