Mingulay Boat Song
The "Mingulay Boat Song" is a song written by Sir Hugh S. Roberton in the 1930s. The melody is described in Roberton's Songs of the Isles as a traditional Gaelic tune, probably titled "Lochaber". The tune was part of an old Gaelic song, "Òran na Comhachaig" ; from Brae Lochaber. The song describes fishermen sailing homeward to the isle of Mingulay where their families wait.
