I first heard this song over 13 years ago from the singing of Karen Casey. It is about a man who was executed for a crime he didn't commit. It was his death that was the catalyst for the abolishing of the death penalty in Britain.

A wee song to all those haters over the years. Remember be who you want to be and if you don't like me, my life or my shoes than jog on.

This is a song about Janet Mackenzie (nee Nicolson) from the island of Rona who after loosing a lot of her family in drowning accidents put a light every evening in her window to guide ships safely past the dangerous rocks. She was awarded a pension from the Royal Navy in recognition of all the lives she saved. 

Moladh bean ronaidh

This was originally a poem composed by Somhairle MacLean about my great uncle Alasdair MacLeod who was shot down and lost on his first mission with the RAF on 13 March 1942 aged 22. My mum Barbara composed the tune.

The words to this were written by John Nicolson (Seonaidh Mor Eilean Tighe) about the boat called the Rona which was owned by Mr Wood, proprietor of Raasay in the 1880s, and its adventures sailing round the west coast and winning the regatta which was part of the Skye Games. I put a tune to this poem after finding the words in a book.
