Loch Lomond (Songs Abroad/Scotland)


"The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond," words & music of unknown origin, earliest known publication "Vocal Melodies of Scotland" (1841). Interpretation of the touching lyric vary from bitterly political to the deeply personal: a doomed romance played out against the heartbreakingly beautiful landscape of Scotland's largest and most celebrated "loch." It is the latter which explains this "folk song's" continuous power to charm and move listeners for centuries.
