And I thought I was going to be original having Dark Island played at my funeral, guess not. I lived in Scotland for 6 years in the 60's and 70's while being stationed in the Holy Loch. I've fell in love with Scotland, it will always be to me my 2nd home. I've been back numerous times and have seen lots of changes thru the years, most good and some not so good. I have been married to a Glasgow Lass for 56 years I miss Scotland much more than she does. I also plan on having Caledonia and Highland Catheridal also. Fortunately there is a pipe band at the local university, the pipe major is from Dundee. I've even acquired a British style coffin, it pays to plan ahead.

I hope Scotland rediscovers its true faith and its true history (a good sign was the strong protest reaction against the mad and tyrannical hate crime law). Read G.K. Chesterton, a great defender of Scotland, family and freedom (and a quarter Scots himself). Wake up Scots: protect your families, children and freedom.

Though I’m American born and bred, it seems my family members have all picked people from the British Isles, 94.5 or 94.6%, with 64.5 or 64.6% being British alone and the rest being Ireland, Scotland and Wales. And a lot of it seems to be Royalty or connected to it.

Ive been out of Scotland 64 yrs but I'm still not an Aussie and never will be. Its where I've lived but not where l wanted to be. The Dark Isle has been played at all family funerals & will continue to be played. I was first effected by it when l was 13 & it really made me aware of where l wanted to be.

This songs been mentioned in a book by the author Helen Fields called One For Sorrow. I had to come look it up as the lyrics are beautiful & haunting & I have an unknown why affinity for the deeper side of Scotland. My favorite term is The Gloaming which I found accidentally and I love that time of the day, it’s like a gap in time, not night nor day, where anything just may be possible if you open yourself up to believing. To the poster whose Grandad composed the song…? He did good, really really good, it will still sound just as mesmerizing in 100 years time. 🎶🎵❤️🎵🎶

A grand piece of music. Really immortal.
And I thought I was going to be original having Dark Island played at my funeral, guess not. I lived in Scotland for 6 years in the 60's and 70's while being stationed in the Holy Loch. I've fell in love with Scotland, it will always be to me my 2nd home. I've been back numerous times and have seen lots of changes thru the years, most good and some not so good. I have been married to a Glasgow Lass for 56 years I miss Scotland much more than she does. I also plan on having Caledonia and Highland Catheridal also. Fortunately there is a pipe band at the local university, the pipe major is from Dundee. I've even acquired a British style coffin, it pays to plan ahead.

Though I’m American born and bred, it seems my family members have all picked people from the British Isles, 94.5 or 94.6%, with 64.5 or 64.6% being British alone and the rest being Ireland, Scotland and Wales. And a lot of it seems to be Royalty or connected to it.
