Kishmul's Galley Mrs MacLean of Barra
High from the Ben a Hayich,
On a day of days
Seaward I gazed,
Watching Kishmul's galley sailing.
Homeward she bravely battles,
'Gainst the hurtling waves,
Nor hoop nor yards,
Anchor, cable nor tackle has she.
Now at last, 'gainst wind and tide,
They've brought her to
Neath Kishmul's walls,
Kishmul Castle, our ancient glory.
Here's red wine and feast for heros
And harping too,
Sweet harping too.
