regshoe: A grey heron in flight over water (Heron)
[personal profile] regshoe
[personal profile] theseatheseatheopensea has got me crying over the role of place and landscape and identity in The Flight of the Heron again, so here's the song I associate most closely with Ewen—and just a really lovely song in its own right. The last verse in particular I imagine describing Ewen's thoughts on his eventual return from France: my way is clear, and I know what I will do tomorrow...



(also, scrolling through Dougie MacLean's Spotify page I see that he has an album all about the Scots Quair trilogy, which seems like an excellent reason to re-read the first book and get onto the other two...)

...I'm completely ruined by reading 18th century history--my immediate association is that Colonel James Grant was the commander of the Jacobite artillery unit in the '45. *facepalm*
