About the Folk Song
Written in the late 1800s by Sir Harold Boulton and Anne Campbell MacLeod, the song looks back to 1746 and the prince’s flight after Culloden. Its words and tune picture a quiet sea journey and a time of exile. The calm, flowing melody has made it a favourite at gatherings and concerts. Many listeners value its sense of place and gentle dignity.
