The Gathering of the Clans

The clans are gathering, gathering, gathering

Through the deep glens and from faraway lands

From cottage and shieling wild music is stealing

Horo for the gathering of the clans.

The pipers are sounding in lowland and highland

The laddies sae brave and the lassies say braw

They come from the hill and they come from the island

And some from across the wide ocean an' a'

The clans are gathering, gathering, gathering

Through the deep glens and from faraway lands

From cottage and shieling wild music is stealing

Horo for the gathering of the clans.

The Campbells and Camerons and Grants and MacDonalds

Are proud of the tartans that swing as they go

The couthy young callants and border braw gallants

The bonny gay Gordons and men of Munro

The clans are gathering, gathering, gathering

Through the deep glens and from faraway lands

From cottage and shieling wild music is stealing

Horo for the gathering of the clans.

The clans are gathering, gathering, gathering

Through the deep glens and from faraway lands

From cottage and shieling wild music is stealing

Horo for the gathering of the clans.
