Kathleen Pfeiffer

Is this a wauking song?

Sharon Constable

Love this video! That big stringed instrument that looked like a dulcimer -- is that a psaltery?

maria farrugia-harrison

reminds me of a red indian chant, lovely

Tony Philpott

She sings this song with such authority. She owns it.

Scots (the leid or Lang for you borders folk out there) is truly a derivative of Norwegian, and though Norsk and Deutche are Teutonic languages this does not mean or imply that Scots is a Germanic dialect. The closest linguistic relative to Gaelic is (believe it or not) Hindi (via Sanskrit). if you go back far enough you will find that Sanskrit, Pali, and Goidelc (ancient Gaelic) are all dialects of each other...Slainte! Shanti! Skuld!

CHARLES HYNES

???? SO WRONG, ITS NOT!

German are Celts too if you go back far enough.

Thank you for that insightful lecture on two languages that I do in actual fact speak. You'll notice I wrote 'Scots IS a Germanic language/dialect of English (depending on your viewpoint)'. A Mhàirtain, tha làn fhios agam cò às a thàinig a' Ghàidhlig agus cò às a thàinig a' Bheurla Ghallda (Albais).

Martin James

Quite, but the Scots Leid (aka the Lallans or the Doric in the east) is not a dialect or patois of Old English. It is a separate line of development from the Germanic language of the Angles -but not the Saxons- with elements of the earlier Cymric languages (P-Celtic, ancestral to modern Welsh) formerly spoken in what is now Scotland, as well as Norse and later many French additions. It IS basically Germanic. Gàidhlig is Q-Celtic and NOT Germanic. TWO LANGUAGES, not to be confused.

Tony Philpott

Don't know what it is about Scots Gaelic. But it makes for a lovely extension of Irish Gaelic in ways that embellish and enlarge it. There seems to be a flourish in the inflection that sweetens our common language somehow.

Scots is the Germanic language variety spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic. eh I'm sorry but you're wrong.

Now you said it - your are absolutely right

Gerry S

eh I'm sorry but it isn't

I never want to be at a table waulking, but I don't mind listening to them sing their songs one bit.

I must surely be related to the fellow on the big dulcimer. Strong family resemblance. Is he Irish?

Stephen Harding

why is it not NicInnes. I thought the gaelic reflected gender, even in last names. Just curious.

@bookkeeper57 Scots, and Scottish Gaelic are two very different languages. Scots, a sibling to English, developed out of Old English and was influenced by French. It is very much so a Germanic language. Scottish Gaelic, coming from Old Irish, is related to modern Irish.

@GreenManelishi - If you live in the US and are interested in buying the DVD, it is available from Music Scotland. I just received my copy and watched it last weekend. Three hours of bliss!
