GUEST,Felipa Origins: Westering Home (Hugh Roberton) (112* d) RE: Origins: Westering Home (Hugh Roberton) 17 Aug 20


In 2016 posted lyrics for Eilean mo Chrìdhe *Scottish Gaelic song of Isle of Skye, but here is a link to another page with the lyrics and a different translation. https://lyricstranslate.com/en/eilean-mo-chrìdh-tha-island-i-love.html

Eilean mo chrìdh' was probably the inspiration for the lyrics of Westering Home. Translator "Michealt" aka Tom Thomson writes "can't say much about the author, as there were several Iain Kaid Macleans in France in 1914 - at least one who died before the end of the war, and at least one who survived until 1935, both Skyemen, and I don't know which of these (if either rather than yet another) was the author." https://lyricstranslate.com
