An Eala Bhàn (The White Swan) - Julie Fowlis

On July 1st 2016 I had the immense honour of being a part of the National Commemorative event to mark the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme at the Thiepval Memorial in France. As part of the commemoration Julie Fowlis sang "An Eala Bhàn" ("The White Swan) - a Scottish Gaelic song written in the trenches during WWI by Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna of North Uist.
