The Dark Island in G:
The Dark Island in A:
|
|
Originally named Dr MacKay's Farewell to Creagorry, this tune was composed by Iain McLachlan of Benbecula. It was later used for a BBC radio programme called 'The Dark Island' and was instantly popular. At least three sets of words were written to the tune in the 1960s.
For penny whistle players, I have provided a more playable setting in the key of A. If you wish to play along with the G version, use a C whistle.
