Roy Williamson died 30 years ago (12/8/1990) and his musicality was very underrated. His genius and talent and amazing voice will never be matched or equalled. What an amazing legacy he left for us to enjoy

Such a gorgeous song. Roy's voice is simply amazing. Corries are definitely one of the best folk groups ever. Greetings from Ireland!

This song was played at my dads funeral, he loved it and indeed the loch itself. Listening to it brings back many fond memories of him and the times we spent together on its banks. One day we shall sing this together and gaze upon the bonnie water from Killin and the ruins of Finlarig castle, until we meet again dad, love fae your boy. love you

Incredibly & hauntingly beautiful. The steady, atmospheric accompaniment & Roy's magic voice, with the moving words..

Roy Williamson was an absolute genius, I miss him terribly, he would have been 85 this year,

what an amazing thing to live a life and leave this song behind you

hauntingly beautiful song. r.i.p. roy, so sadly missed

A song about unrequited love that a grown-up can listen to.

Bonnie prince billy's 'ohio River boat song' bought me here. This is a beautiful song

Love this song and this version.

What a lovely haunting melody.. perfectly done by incompatible Corries..

Could there be a more beautiful, or more sad love song? It always makes me cry. Thank you, Linda, so much for posting it. I have no adequate words to comment on Roy and Ronnie's interpretation.

was on the banks of loch tay just the other day, sublime morning light :-) check out a beautiful version of this from our kin across the big pond, ohio boat song by bonnie prince billy(will oldham). Beautiful memories of the elders during my youth, at parties, while we bairns were tucked away safely, this and other beauties like hamish imlach, the humblebums, incredible string band, davey graham etc.. sometimes even a little alex harvey when the mood fitted, thanks for posting :-)

This is really beautiful.

Such a sad yet beautiful song !

This song is the missing master piece of corries works someday will be regognised for its worth

I'am from Killin. I used to swim and fish and cycle round loch tay. Didn't really appreciate this song as a kid living there tho LOL

Beautiful.

Can anyone detect what instruments are being played throughout this version of the song? Are the instruments the combolins?
