Soraidh Leis An Ait -- Farewell to the Place [30min]

"Farewell to the Place" is a beautiful lament written in the 19th century by Mairi Mhor Nan Oran -- Big Mary of the Songs. A strong, politically-motivated crofting woman, her influence still resonates today, particularly on her home of Skye. Over the years, "Soraidh Leis An Ait" has become an anthem for the island. John Cavanagh finds out why.
