Song of the Week – Skye Boat Song

This is one of many Scottish ballads written about “Bonnie Prince Charlie.” It concerns his infamous escape after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The song itself was written by Sir Harold Boulton and was first published in 1884.

As a side note, I decided that 26 songs (equaling a half a year of posts) is enough to wade through on the Song of the Week page so I will begin a new page next week.
