Dougie Mclean wrote it and now has the definite version - though it was the Scottish rock singer Frankie Miller who first made it famous. He sang it in an advert for Tennent's lager (which can be found on youtube) which became so popular that the single was released.

LOVE THIS SONG!!! John puts on his Scottish burr for this song and it's wonderful. Thaks again, Lady Grey C. : )

LadyGreyCarolyn

Thanks very much for your words! ^_^ I bet it's a great experience to see (and hear) him in person, not only on CDs. I've found about him only some year ago and since then I tried to built a complete collection of his cd.

The first recording I heard of John's voice was on the CD "Tunes of Glory" about 1994 and I have many of the recordings he has made since then. You can also hear him as one of the "Irish Tenors". I live in Ottawa, Canada and have had the pleasure of hearing John in person each Christmas season. Kudos to all who promote his music!

Thanks very much for watching and commenting! :-) Also thank you for the tip: I knew the video you talk about, but it's been a good chance to give it a re-listen!!

Beautifully done, as is always the case with John McDermott..In 2009 the Scottish Home Coming prompted a series of adverts, promoting the event. The best version of Caledonia that I have heard to-date is by" ReGael " and can be found on Youtube by searching " Caledonia 2009 Homecoming " Give it a listen.

LadyGreyCarolyn

I understand how you feel, even if I'm not Scottish I feel goosebumps whenever I listen to this song. Thanks very very much for your comment!!! :-)

@Radioshoes I've just looked for and found Dougie's original version. Thanks you for telling me about it because it's really beautiful!!! Thanks also for commenting my video! :)

Radioshoes

This is actually a song written by Scottish singer/songwriter Dougie MacLean. This is from his first album, Caledonia, recorded in 1979. If you like this you should pick up some of Dougie's music. You can probably find his version here on YouTube. It's worth looking up.

@sparti47fan You said what I was going to say! I usually associate it with Irish singer Dolores Keane, but this, beautifully song in a Scottish voice, leaves her at the post, wonderful as she is!
