Summary

A song of nostalgia and longing for the emigrant's homeland in Valtos, Uig, Isle of Lewis. He has left for Canada and is now recalling the pursuits of youth and the people of his home village, but he knows that though he would return it would not be the same, and that those people are now all gone.

The song was composed by Donald Morrison (Dòmhnall Aonghais Ruaidh) of Valtos, Uig.
