Lyrics
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon'
Where in the purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'

My wife was a beautiful red head we were married for 30 wonderful years. She loved Celtic tunes. There was a poem she learned when she was young she only remembered a little part of it...grow old with me...the best is yet to be. But she passed away one night. We fell asleep in our recliners in the living room after watching one of our old favorite movies and playing her favorite word games. Some time later I heard her slump out of her chair and gently hit the floor. That was December 1st 2014.. I have missed her every single day since. It made me so sad that she wouldn't be with me any longer. I'm 64 now and another year has passed. In my heart she is still with me as we grow old together. One day I'll be able to join her. I feel her beside me always. I was a very lucky man. God bless us all

My husband passed in his sleep as well, in March 2015, just 2 weeks after our son's first birthday and 2 weeks before his own 34th birthday. When he passed, he did so laying on my hair, his arm around my waist. Not a day goes by that he isn't in my thoughts. He loved music, but I was the one who loved the Celtic songs, and having lived in Scotland for several years, this song has always been dear to me, and while I still love hearing it, it would be a lie to say that it doesn't rebreak my heart a little each time.

So amazing. My Scottish side is the Burns. The Ancestor responsible for me being alive and creating a life here in America fought in the Battle of Preston and got captured. He had the choice of either getting executed nearby or coming to America and help in colonizing it. My Papaw showed me a couple cemeteries where my Ancestors lay in East Texas before he passed. So much history that I can't get into in this forum but my bloodline runs deep and 23andme backs that also. Also, unsurprisingly, my name is Preston.

My maternal grandfather went through the family tree with me once. His mother's family came over from Scotland. The rest of my family tree on both sides ends up being a blend of German and French, but I'm most proud of the Scottish bit and it shows. Perhaps someday I'll be able to visit the most beautiful nation in my ancestry.

What a beautiful song. Every time I listen to it, my mind goes back to my grandfather. He always used to say to me, "One must approach others as human beings, regardless of their religion, language, or race." He used to help the poor, and everyone loved him. He spent some time in Germany and then returned to his homeland, Turkey. He always told me, "Music is universal," and he listened to music in many languages. One September evening in 2020, he collapsed and suffered a brain hemorrhage. He spent two weeks in intensive care and passed away on October 12th. He visits my dreams almost every night. My grandmother, who adored him, couldn't bear his death and cries every day. When she was nine years old, she witnessed her father being beaten to death in front of her. When she saw my grandfather collapse, and then subsequently lost her siblings one by one, she fell into depression. Forgetfulness set in, and she became childlike. When I stay with her, I tell her stories until she falls asleep. Whenever I listen to this song, all of these memories come flooding back. Rest in peace, Hakkı grandfather. ❤

This made me think of the time that I believe that my Grandmother visited me after she passed. My grandmother was a smoker, and one day after school when I came home and went to my room, I could smell the scent of cigarette smoke in my room. It hung around until I fell asleep, and was gone when I woke up. No one in my family smokes in the house. So I think it was my Grandma visiting me one more time because she knew how badly I wanted to see her before she passed. So home must be with your family

Call me a romantic sod....whatever. But whenever I listen to Scottish traditional songs like these, I don't know where it come from, but it reaches an emotion of something like I want to return to a land I had long time forgotten. Funny as it is, I am Dutch born and raised, but ever since I visited the Highlands in the early 1980's, something remained in me of a land like I had been there before. And the tears of a longing ALWAYS crack me up with songs like these. Always.

many dont understand and dont know the meaning and symbolism of this song, this is an adaptation of an older song, this version we written after the Jacobite rebellion about 2 soldiers, one who was sentenced to death the other got to return to Scotland. the meaning of "ye'll take the high road and ill take the low-road" is based in an old belief that if someone dies out of their home country ones soul returns home after death to pass on this was called taking the low road while the one who survived took the high road(the road on earth to scotland) love from Ireland alba go brách

I always heard it was about the families of the people that died in the Jacobite rebellion because the English lined the road from london to scotland with the rebel's bodies . The high road was the souls going to heaven and the low road was earth where the family members would need to take the long way round so to speak to be reunited with those they lost.

After a lifetime of hearing about my families history and their voyage to the US to start a new life when food was scarce, I've always wanted to go to Scotland and see Mt heritage. This past year, my fiancé and I finally got to visit Scotland, and stand on the banks of Loch Lomond. How many times had I sung this song and I finally got to touch those waters and stand on its banks. Scotland is so beautiful. Words cannot describe the feeling you get in your heart when you're in thise hills. The air smells sweeter, the grass is greener, the moss is as soft as a feather bed, and the people are as kind as the midwest. It broke our hearts to have to leave, but we plan on returning every few years from now until we die. 😅

My ancestor William MacIntosh too came to Boston on a prison ship as a 14 y.o. old political prisoner of the British. He'd been taken from the battlefield in Scotland and forced on a death march into England. Only a few hundred of the thousands of Scots made it to that point. He toiled for years as an indentured laborer in the ironworks factory, earned his freedom and learned his trade, then married a young Irish woman, ( Jael O' Sullivan) who'd also been a political prisoner from a wealthy family and sent here by the British. They moved to Block Island just off the coast of Rhode Island where they became strong citizens and land owners and had a large family I often think of the horror those two young teenagers must have witnessed to be torn from their families and tossed in shackles onto a ship and how they were able to persevere and overcome.

I had the privilege of being guided by a knowledgeable Scot who not only enlightened me about Scottish culture, food, traditions, music, and history but also deeply enriched my appreciation for this magnificent country. The guide also shared the story behind this particular song, and now, whenever I listen to it, I am moved to tears. - With heartfelt affection from India.

This song has particular meaning to me. I'm descended from Orkney Scots who fought with Bonny Prince Charlie. After the battle of Culloden in 1745 when the Scottish clans were defeated by the English, my ancestor David fled to the American colonies with his son Robert, leaving his older son John in Scotland to care for David's wife until they could be sent for. David and Robert eventually settled in upstate New York where they changed their name from McGregor to Smith. Unfortunately David's wife died before she and John could cross the ocean, and John joined the British army not wanting anything to do with his father and brother. During the American Revolution, Robert fought with the Americans and John fought with the British. According to family stories they met at the Battle of Freeman's Farm in 1777 where John was wounded. The story then has it Robert took the wounded John home to his farm a few miles away where John died after reconciling with his brother, his only request that Robert would deliver his bible to his wife in Kirkwall . Robert then journeyed back to Scotland for the first time since he fled as a child to fulfil his brother's wish. As result, to this day the American and the Scottish sides of my family are still close and every now we get together. I live just down the road from Robert's farm which is still in the family and I've twice gotten to go to Scotland where my distant cousin still has John's bible. I always imagine that this song is the two brothers speaking to each other in those last few hours they had together.

This song (this version too) was played for me as a lullaby when I was a baby. My mother always played Irish or Scottish music, and it also really made me proud of our Scots-Irish heritage. We sure had it rough, back in the Isles and here in the States, but I will always be proud of where I came from. There’s an old saying in my family: “Remember who you are.” Always and forever, I’ll never forget.

i think a lot of you aren't aware of the story of this song. The song is about 2 imprisoned soldiers in England, 1 was to be beheaded, the other was sent back to Scotland as a free man. This is why the song goes, "you take the high road and I'll take the low", the low road is what we call being dead sometimes. The high road is over the hills. Then the next line is "and I'll be in Scotland before you" meaning he's going to be in heaven/Scotland. Its about the battle of Culloden in the 1700s

The Story of this Song: After leaving her in happiness and in love at Loch Lomond, he was captured by the King's Men, in battle, during the attemped Rebellion, in 1745. This song came from the farewell letter that he wrote to his True Love, before his execution - telling her that he would meet her again - on the, "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond". The, "Low Road"? Returning to his Home, Scotland, and his True Love, in his Death. The High Road? His True Love - lives! Broken Hearted. My great, great, grand parents, came from Scottland, to Ireland, and then to the USA. Aye .... Scotland the Brave ! A beautiful done video story!

“English” tyranny in 1630s Scotland? That doesn’t make much sense I’m afraid. During the early 1600s in Britain, there was Scottish kings who ruled both Scotland and England. Those Scottish nobles and the Scottish church at the time were very anti-Gaelic. It was never just a Scotland vs England thing. You have to go back to the days of William Wallace for that type of environment.

And it is one of the places I promised to visit before I finish my journey here on Earth. My late mother, of scotch Irish heritage always told me she wanted to go there but she never got the opportunity. I have been to, and worked in Ireland, multiple times and I love it...but the pipes keep calling me back to my Scottish home. I would gladly trade my life's fortune here in the U.S. for any in Scotland, Ireland, and even the English UK. I just hope the people of those countries know the importance of what they bring to history and clean culture to living people and preserve its integrity and identity.
