Caledonia by Christy-Lyn
50 votes
Written by Dougie McLean, this song is about love for the homeland - Caledonia is another word for Scotland. When I was living away from home for 1.5 years, I used to sing this when I felt homesick!

Melancholy Air - Daisy Chute
MELANCHOLY AIR from the EP ‘CRADLE SONGS’ by Daisy Chute "Burns Night is a tradition I hold dear, especially as a displaced Scot in London. But every year we gather and recite the same poetry and songs, and I've often wondered about all the Scottish poetry that gets left unread, especially from the female perspective. I wanted to unearth some lesser known poetry so Cradle Songs are settings of the poems I discovered and connected with on my hunt. The poems are about mourning (Mary Queen of Scots's Melancholy Air), unrequited love (Marion Angus's Mary's Song), and motherhood (Carolina Oliphant's Cradle Song), and span from the 16th to the 20th Century." ‘Cradle Songs’ featuring 'Melancholy Air' released 28 January 2022.
