“Skye Ska”

Sgath Sgitheanach on ClilstoreFollowing on from the “Tug of War”, here’s a second helping in this series of occasional samplings of old Bi Beò songs re-presented on Clilstore for the benefit of Gaelic learners – Sgath Sgitheanach.

Music from this track was used in the Series 2 Generations documentary about Sabhal Mòr Ostaig itself, so this view of the college, taken from the video, seems an appropriate image with which to illustrate the song. There are still plenty of Uibhistich at the college, both staff and students – no doubt happy to share enthusiastically in the spirit that the song celebrates…

PS. Here’s the “raw” track, if you’d like to hear it first before reading the lyrics on Clilstore:
