Tir Earraghaidheal

The Stirling Mod has introduced a new competition for singing a song about the area of the National Mod. For this reason I’m trying to track down the words of Tir Earraghaidheal. It was sung and recorded by Ian Carmichael in the 60s and I have a copy of the recording but can’t get the words. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Mission accomplished. The song was originally written in English and I met someone who knew someone whose wife wrote the Gaelic words which had never been kept. With the English words and the original music a local bard has written a new translation so I’ve now got what I was looking for.

Cailean, You might need to watch, as some mods do not allow for gaelic translations of english songs to be sung in competition, but I hope Stirling Mod was successful for you.
