This is one of the most famous Scottish songs and while its earliest known version is from 1841 its roots arguably go back to the 18th century, to the Jacobite Rising of 1746 or even earlier. I’m linking a video by Ella Roberts because it is one of the most beautiful renderings in recent years, but if you like the song you should definitely look for the Corries’ version. The arrangement below is very easy and it is the first kalimba cover I ever wrote.
