I think what Run Rig shared with their music was a link with the culture they were brought up in. They made it cool to speak (Scots) Gaelic to lots of young people who used to think it was only a sign of backwardness. The pride they show with their music is something that everyone can aspire to - the only boundaries are what you let be put up. Alba Gu Brath!

Lucky you!!! I adore Runrig--especially the MacDonald brothers. Brilliant songwriters and musicians. A relatively new fan, I'm just beginning to distinguish Donnie's voice from Bruce's; in my humble opinion, they're both wonderfully gifted singers. Donnie's pure voice soars; Bruce's voice is earthy and gritty. But we mustn't overlook Rory--something about his voice tugs at my heart when he sings lead... Respect from an American lass!

Habe Runrig in den 90er Jahren oft live gesehen und vermisse die alten Donnie Tage schrecklich. Ich weiss das die meisten songs von Rory und Callum geschrieben worden sind und ich mag den schraegen Gesang von Rory. Zusammen mit Donnie's Stimme war es dann einfach magisch. Vielleich besinnen sie sich ja und machen noch mal was zusammen.

I'm Scots as are all my family going back generations. Love all of Runrig's work, listened to it for years, but as I'm from the southwest (Ayrshire, although generations back from Argyll), was never exposed to gaelic / taught it at school. Does anybody know a good internet source of the english translations of Runrigs gaelic music as its kinda crazy that after all these years of appreciating their music I still struggle to grasp the lyrics of the gaelic songs ..

Yes there is Norse influence in Scotland, it's hard to put everything in a KZitem comment. Well I never said it was "always there", I think Celtic languages (in the Q form) arrived 500 BC or thereabouts in Scotland but I'm not sure (don't think any one is). And since it's IndoEuropean it has to have come from the Caucuses around 4,000 years ago! Linguists do now think though that Q Celtic was first and so Gaelic was already in Scotland before the new P shift (Picitish(British) from the SE.

You're forgetting the major Norse input to Gaelic Scotland. The Goraidh of the song was Guðrøðr Crobh-bhán. Several important clans claim him as their ancestor. Scots Gaelic was 'made in Scotland' by mixing Middle Irish from Ireland with Norse, plus Pictish and Brittish. You don't have to pretend it was 'always there' to make it Scottish now. Everybody and everything originally came from somewhere else, just as there are lots of influences in the music. It's the final mix that gives the blas.

Aber es kann eben kein anderer "Loch Lomond" singen. Hoffe sie besinnen sich und holen Donnie zurück. Dann sofort ab in den CD- Shop !
