Tha gach uile dhuine air a bhreth saor agus co-ionnan ann an urram 's ann an còirichean. Tha iad air am breth le reusan is le cogais agus mar sin bu chòir dhaibh a bhith beò nam measg fhein ann an spiorad bràthaireil.

Thanks for translation;)

So Scots are still Brittish? or what would the proper way of saying be. Not trying to insult.

No they're still Scots. Britain is a union made up of the "home" nations.

Rìoghachd na h-Alba 'Kingdom of Scotland' was allied with the Swedes during the 'Thirty Years War'

Or is it 'Thirsty Years War'? :)

Here is how Scots Gaelic sounds like.

And the best part was when Mikey, the owner, would lock the door at 2:00 am, as required by law, and there would be a private jam session with a few of these folks. My goodness, I miss that. Sadly, Johnny died in 2005. What a loss.

Done that many a time during the years I lived in London. Looking back, I regard them as "special memories".

Sirius, what a gorgeous video to match the song. Wish I could have been there.

CC

I was & still wish I was back there. The atmosphere while they were singing was tremendous. It's a bugger getting old :-(

Edit:

It's a shame that camcorders as we have today were not available back then. The videos in my collection would have been awesome.

Edit 2: The best version I've heard to date...
