Celtic Spirit - Ailein Duinn
a great track from celtic spirit , the song was the theme for Rob Roy . a short peice about Rob Roy - Rob Roy Born Glen Gyle, 1671, died Inverlochlarig, 1734 Robert MacGregor was born at Glen Gyle, at the western end of Loch Katrine, in the Trossachs region of Central Scotland. His popular moniker 'Rob Roy' comes from the Celtic for 'Red Robert', a reference to his red hair. His father was Donald MacGregor, and his mother was Margaret Campbell. At that time the MacGregor clan was 'proscribed', which meant that no one was allowed to use the name MacGregor, or wear the clan tartan. In 1693 he married Mary MacGregor at Glen Arklet, and together they had four sons, James, Ranald, Coll, and Robin. The site of the building in which they were married can still be seen on the B829 just east of Inversnaid. Rob fought with his father Donald in support of the Catholic James Stewart in his struggle with the Protestant king of England, William of Orange. Donald was captured and imprisoned and Rob's mother died while Donald was captive.

Chorus: Oh Ellen Vannen, Of the Isle of Man Company, Oh Ellen Vannen, Lost in the Irish Sea. 2. At One am in Ramsey Bay, Captain Teare was heard to say, Our contract says Deliver the mail. In this rough weather we must not fail. Chorus: 3. Ocean Liners sheltered from the storm, Ellen Vannen on the waves was born. Her holds were full and battened down, As she sailed towards far Liverpool town. Chorus: 4. With a crew of twenty-one Manxmen, Her passengers Liverpool business men; Farewell to Mona's Isle farewell, This little ship was bound for hell. Chorus: 5. Less than a mile from the Bar lightship, By a mighty wave Ellen Vannen was hit. She sank in the waters of Liverpool Bay, And there she lies until this day. Chorus: 6. You Manxmen now remember, The third day of the month December, Of a terrible storm in Nineteen Nine, Ellen Vannen sailed for the very last time. Chorus:
