I'm going to the Ligonier Highland Games, as I have since I was a teenager.
When they played "Road to the Isles" at the games, my mother used to sing the chorus of the Canadian version, "The Border Trail". Does anyone know all the words. I know you have "Road to the Isles". But I couldn't find the Canadian version.

Far Northland
Lyr Add: Far Northland - Mentions Border Trail in a couple of the messages.
Lyr Req: Far Northland

Hope this helps a bit. Sounds like depending on the placenames, it would be hard to decide. If no one else gets a chance to dig out Border Trail from RUS, I'll see if I can get the information from a friend.

THANKS!!! Mother always sang about going by lake Duncan and Bearskin. I don't know where she learned it. But I was glad to find the words. Thank You.

You're certainly very welcome, LadyJean.

Did you notice that in the second link I gave, it has both the Lake Duncan chorus posted by Joe Offer. The rest of the song is identified in differences from the DT version. Glad we could help.
