Jean Redpath - Rothesay Bay [HD]

The great Scottish singer Jean Redpath sings the popular old song 'Rothesay Bay' from her 1963 Elektra album 'Laddie Lie Near Me'. The ancient town of Rothesay (with a castle from the 1200s) is on the Isle of Bute among many islands off the Western coast of Scotland. The video images show Rothesay, the bay and Firth (estuary) of Clyde. For anyone wanting to understand the song's lyrics better, my modern English translation (with aid from the Scottish version on rampantscotland.com) follows the first rendition of the song. The Cumbraes and Arran mentioned in the song are nearby islands to Bute.
