Found a song I'd been looking for, for 45 years!
Hello! When I was little, my father would play a Scottish album that included Tha fadachd orm fhìn, a Rìgh. It had the sound of the beating of the wool on the table, as the women sang it. The song stuck in my head, and as a 10 year old, I made up the words, singing it as "Ta Ta Fashad Smee Ni Ree". FINALLY was able to locate the real name, and lyric, by skimming your song list, and have found Ellen MacDonald singing it, via youtube. THANK YOU so much for helping me find this! It's been in my head all these years. To add to that, I grew up thinking I was Irish and French heritage, but DNA test last years came up with 71% Scottish and Irish. Guess my DNA really connected to that song :)

Hi Kathleen, so pleased that you were able to find this song. I know what it's like to have a song in your head and be desperate to track it down! Some day perhaps Sgioba Luaidh will get round to recording Tha fadachd orm, to let you hear it as a waulking song!

Thank you for sending me the Waulking song link. I live in the USA and hope to get over to my hame one day. We have a twinned city here to Stornoway called Pendleton that is in the state of Soit Carolina, where I stay. Cheers!

Auchindrain experience
The Auchindrain township was fascinating and evocative but it was brought to life by you ladies. Hearing about spinning, weaving, the tweed and then the waulking was so interesting. The pièce de résistance was the singing and the demonstration. Being able to join in was just magical. Truly memorable. Thank you. Maybe get you down to Essex yet! You made our holiday!

Glad you enjoyed your visit. It was a pleasure to meet you, and we hope you will come back to Auchindrain and lend a hand on 26 July when we'll be waulking a new tweed.
