Just returned from a long awaited trip to Iona and had this beautiful song in my head the whole boat trip from Oban to Mull and then from Mull to Iona ...just beautiful

His voice singing this song is like a prayer!

Pure loveliness. Takes my breath away.

Every now and again I feel the need to dip into the songs sung by Kenneth McKellar. Lovely rendition of a beautiful song.

Thank you for posting this. It is my favorite piece by Kenneth McKellar. Simple, dreamlike and beautifully sung.

Such a dreamily beautiful song.  Kenneth McKellar has a way of presenting these wonderful ballads.  His voice is so clean, so well-controlled and so lyrical.  I had this song on an LP which is long ago worn out.  Thanks for posting it!  Just listening to it brings on a peaceful feeling.

hauntingly beautiful, like a delicately weaved tapestry...

"A feeling of sadness and longing that is not akin to pain... resembles sorrow only as the mist resembles rain" Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I enjoy the song. I am dreaming

Thank you very much for being here!

What a lovely comment and how perfectly Longfellow's words fit these songs.....I can't thank you enough. I wish you a good weekend too Joanna, with love, Louise.

Beautiful

Thank you so much for your comment :)

I'm frae Caithness, yet the West is always my land of hearts desire

Few can match the impeccable technique of Kenneth McKellar. The definitive version of the song - once you've heard it, nothing else measures up.

from songs of the Hebrides

I have the feeling it's YouTube's doing... your missing avatar.

Lovely song, beautifully sung, I think Calum Kennedy's version is more poignant though !

Yes they are starting the horrible changes now and have taken my avatar, I think there is a way of getting it back just not sure how yet.
