Glen Gollaidh

A song by Rob Donn MacAoidh researched and sung by Caitlyn Yule
Lyrics
Glen Gollaidh, Glen Gollaidh
Glen Gollaidh of our trees,
Who can see it without praising it?
Glen Gollaidh of our trees.
Seeing the abutment of its elevation
Drew me aside,
Indeed I thought of staying in
Glen Gollaidh of the trees.
I don’t desire your money
And I’ll never join your army,
I won’t refuse your dram
But I’ll do no more than that.
Though I might get to my desire
Mackay’s Kintail,
More I fancy staying
In Glen Gollaidh of the trees.
Bountiful land, much of it’s value
For stalking and cattle,
An agreeable place in time of storm
In which the wind will not shudder.
