An Eala Bhàn (The White Swan), by Julie Fowlis.
An Eala Bhàn - The White Swan
Song composed by Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna (Donald MacDonald of Coruna)
– a Scottish-Gaelic poet from North Uist, whilst fighting
in the battle of the Somme, in the trenches of the Great War –
for his love, Mhagaidh Nic Leòid (Maggie MacLeod).
As performed by Julie Fowlis from the album "Dual",
that is very much recommended to lovers of Gaelic song and/or culture.
