“Mìle Marbhaisg air a’ Ghaol” is a traditional Gaelic waulking song that laments the hurt caused by love. It's the first song I've taught in the latest round of Seinn air Loidhne - Online Gaelic song classes. #gàidhlig #folksong #scotland #celticmusic | Brian OhEadhra

Wool waulking is a traditional Scottish craft. It is the last stage in the production of homespun tweed.
