I´m not scotish but this song is a hymn for me. In 2005 I visited Scotland and just love that beautiful country. I´m absolutly sure that somewhere in another life I´ll be scotish and I´ll live there. I will go home then. Until then ..Love to all scotish people. From Portugal.

Hi Marie. What you've said I understand totally, with my big brother, John. The very same. Nothing will ever compare to this eternally spiritual song for both our familys. Eternal peace for our brothers and families.

I'm Italian, I've been some times in Scotland and seen Runrig (LochNess2007, Scone,Barrowlands and more). I understand why you Scottish people are so proud of your nation ! It's simply wonderful !

Tell me about it. Top class

Donnie made Runrig what it is - Runrig will never be the same. A lovely man with a lovely family. Genuinely a super guy with a talent second to none. Skye knows Donnie is fab!!!!

This video is brilliant. Donnie is the only one who can sing this song. No one does it better than him. His voice is so special and it goes straight into your system. Especially when you hear him sing the ballads they made.

Pure class, what a voice, what a song. So emotional.

Still has the power to reduce me to tears even after so many years. I always used to listen to this on the train when returning home to Scotland.

IF EVER A BAND FEEDS STRAIGHT TO THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS ! IT IS RUN RIG !!

Heart of Scotland Ancestry I was there too. I worked the first night, and was there with my wife for the last. Great nights.

First time I ever heard Runrig my heart was in love went to see them in Bradford , York Sheffield so brilliant they melted my heart my son saw them at loch Lomond when he was 14 yrs old best group ever xx miss them please come back xxx

I absolutely love this song. Was at this concert at Stirling and l remember so well, Donnie singing it. I felt so sad as he left Runrig after this. Runrig were never the same for me after that. Donnie's voice made Runrig what they were. Wonderful. Even hearing Donnie in concert in his own band, it sounds like Runrig. Thanks Donnie for many years of beautiful singing.

Donnie was a hard act to follow. Bruce was good he took Runrig forward, however both singers provided great music. I'm a Donnie fan, took me ages to listen to Bruce, only seen him in concert once at 40th party on the Moor.

Runrig...one of the greatest bands ever to grace a stage. Songs that will live forever,

Superb - great slide guitar. I'm Cornish not Scots but the yearning for home is still there! Thanks Runrig for 40+ beautiful years.

Ever since the first time Runrig graced my ears, i was in love with their music. They are truely talented, and have so much heart and soul in their music. They are the greatest band ever to stand upon a stage, in my humble oppinion. May they forever be blessed.

Runrig....A band that made the most atmospheric music, wonderful heartfelt lyrics and delivered with sublime artistry. Runrig has delivered.

dieser Titel treibt mir immer wieder die Tränen in die Augen! Traumhaft - einfach unglaublich.

I was born in Kingussie 1947; have lived on Tyneside since 1967; I saw Runrig play at the Newcastle City Hall gig - I just love 'em boys !! When I die, I am "Going Home" [back to Kingussie] and this 'will' be played ...I guarantee it !! Alba gu Brath !!

Cant fake the chills going down my spine every time I hear this song. Amazing!

Beautiful song:) a friend told me to listen to it and i am so glad he did because this song made me think of being in Highlands of Scotland where my heart and soul shall forever belong where it is truly my "HOME"..Thank you for sharing ..Scotland i love you forever and always in my heart and soul xxx

One of my favourite Runrig songs, and I remember being there at the final one of the farewell concerts, just praying the rain would hold off :)

what a damn god number ... Just love Runrig

Ein wunderschöner Song mit viel Gefühl. 5*****

I get goosebumps. Such a beautifull song.

My mum wants this played at her funeral. Good choice an amazing song

Perfect voice.

One of the best live performances ever

Come back Runrig with Donnie singing. Scotland needs you all right now!!! So much talent and gave so such pleasure to us all. X

A real heart tugging song even though the furthest I have been to Scotland is Loch Lomond, but this band is exceptionally emotionally talented !!! I hope Donny Munro has a good future !

Love this song it is brilliant what else can one say.

That song was on my ears when my son and I with the help of many Runrig fans and friends made it back home to Germany after a hell of a life in Peru. Still makes me cry. And many Riggies are still friends for life :-)

This makes me cry every time I hear this, I wish so much I went to this concert, but was working abroad! - Still like Donnie singing with Runrig! :(

lovely song . I remember when I worked in Kyleakin (Skye) Most of the people there remembered Runrig.They also remembered the fact that once they had found fame,they also forgot their roots.(Runrig now v Runrig then) it was all Gaelic. I loved it!

Simply beautiful! Your and your daughter will be together eternally, over that rainbow. Until that day, Runrig's music brings everything together in one place, whichever side of the rainbow! Travel well..... x

would love to re live that day again :) loved every minute of it

A marvelous outpouring of Scottish love, very beautiful and heart- centred moving song.

Ooh, I've got chills. First time hearing this and I'm in love with it

Ifirst seen the band at Motherwell Concert Hall in the 80;s and this song stuck in my heart and always will , as will all their songs , all with Donnie Monroe

When we sold our house in London and I knew we were coming home to Scotland at last I played this endlessly; beautiful song, beautiful voice.

I moved up to Scotland from England in 1980. I knew I was "coming home". That evening on the local TV I saw Runrig for the first time and they blew me away. They sang in Ghallic and I didn't understand the words but the energy gave me shivers and this is home now. My days will end here and I will be at peace.

I am far from being from Scotland but this song takes me to people and places which are only memories. Beautiful, loving memories of so many ... my parents, Nanny, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends ... houses that no longer stand, others full of laughter and tears of the past. Going home ❤

Just listening to Runrig makes me cry and miss this wonderful land. Never felt more home then in the Highlands...Even I moved from Germany to Finland I will never forget how happy I was in Scotland!

RUNRIG best of scotland i"m reaaly proud to be part of the tartan army greetings from the german capital BERLIN from Hanne Hertha BSC and of course tartan army support we stay with ye every time alba gu brath

I moved up to Scotland in 1980 and I knew i was coming home. That evening I saw Runrig on the local TV for the first time and they blew me away. They sang in Ghallic and although I didn't understand the words the energy of the music sent shivers down me. One day I will die here and be at peace.

The best band I ever has seen , love you..... I am ready for Aalborg in 2017.......

love all run rig songs love the voice

this is one of the best runrig songs ever

A beautiful song for those simple feelings of that longing for home...we all know them!!

I totally agree with you... Donnie gave it the celtic sound..wish he would come back or do a solo album....

This takes me back to when it was just me and Emma stuck in the barrack block after all the others had left, blasting Runrig, waiting for our turn to go home.............now I listen to it everytime I cross the Mighty Atlantic and can't wait to again touchdown in my beautiful Scotland.

this is amazing song it reminds when I went back home to Glasgow where I was born

Ahh yes, Thank you KZread. It dosent get better than this... Donny please come home for a one off with the boys. I would be there in a heartbeat...

My great great and great grandparents came to Australia in the second half of the 19th C. My ancestry is 75% Irish [Sligo and Kerry] but, for whatever reason, the 25% of my genes that hail from Ross-shire have the greatest tug on my heart and my sense of who I am and where 'home' is. Donnie and Runrig really 'speak' to me and, no, I can't explain it any more lucidly than that. It just 'is'.

ohhh.....man ...Runrig ist so so geil .. I love it so much

Truly the voice of an angel.

I recall listening to this when working in Somalia in 1995 - never been one for homesickness, but it proved prophetic, within a month I was back in Scotland. Runrig, one of the best bands ever! Saw them live in Lerwick in the 90s - so glad I did see them before Donnie left but they are still incredible, original, without him.

Denke es ist normal das bei diesem Lied die Augen anfangen zu schwitzen. Nicht dass einzige Lied von Runrig. Es sind einfach Emotionen und dazu braucht es keine Worte

For bcnsco and migrator: I love reading comments like yours--Scottish folk have great big hearts! Respect from an American Runrig Fan

played this at my young brothers funeral, he loved this band.

Great - Thank`s Donnie !!!

so heartening to see my countrymen / women can put a band like this on a pedestal. ------ scots ! you are no ordinary people. ----- thank god. from new zealand.

this would bring a tear to a glass eye

You are so right! That is why I am now back in Skye, 20 years later (eeeeeekkk) about to start teaching Gaelic to kids. This is the best place in the whole world. I have not seen the whole world, but the bits of it I have seen are great, but this place is still the tops to me. My mum did say I never should have left, but she didn't let me come back when I wanted to. Now I Know she was wiser!! Tha Alba, agus gu h-araidh a' Ghaidhealtach, uamhasadh fhein alainn, deagh aite!!

This always makes me Cry, Sitting here in Spain and thinking of my home of Scotland. I know its just aflight away but always so short a time I have to spend due to family commitments I hav eto come back here. But soon I will go back to stay !

My Mum told me I was in charge of making sure this gets played at her funeral. Every time I hear this now, it makes me cry because I think about that day. =(

i lost my father 15yrs ago this xmas. this song brings me peace & answers, and closure that helps to make sense of it all. dad i always loved, respected & idolised you and i always will. if my two sons feel half of what i feel for you then life will have been worthwhile........rest in peace, see you soon. xxxx

I know how you feel, I was born and raised in Scotland but left to go to Ireland, where 3 of my grandparents came from, love Ireland but still get homesick now and then after 30 years!! The tug!!!!?

When the time comes , I close my eyes for the last time, I'm going home 💙
