Eriskay Love Lilt
The "Eriskay Love Lilt" is a Scottish folk song associated with the island of Eriskay in Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The chorus of the song features lyrics in Scottish Gaelic. The modern anglicized art song version was adapted by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser from the lament for unrequited love Gràdh Geal Mo Chridhe, collected during her visits to Eriskay with the help of poet Allan MacDonald, and published in the first volume of Songs of the Hebrides in 1909. Popular versions have been recorded by the Glasgow Orpheus Choir with Hugh S. Roberton, The Corries, Judith Durham and The Seekers, and Paul Robeson.
