Eriskay Love Lilt
The small island of Eriskay is in the Sound of Barra in the Western Isles (Hebrides.) This love song is popular with choirs, such as the Glasgow Orpheus Choir and tenors such as Father Sydney MacEwan and Kenneth McKellar. It was also very popular during the folk revival in the nineteen sixties -- sung often on CBC's Singalong Jubilee by Catherine MacKinnon and recorded by the Australian folk group, The Seekers.
