Iseabail
Artwork by Freya Cumming
Ceòl / Music: Fiona Mackenzie
Faclan / Words: Fiona Mackenzie & Brian Ó hEadhra
Abair gun robh beatha brùideil dha ar sinnsearan. Tha sgeulachd na h-Alba agus beatha nan riaghladairean làn de bhròn agus de bhrathadh. Tha cùisean beagan nas fheàrr an-diugh taing do shealbh!
Inspired by the brutal and tragic tale of Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan who crowned Robert the Bruce in 1306.

You crowned
The king of kings Strong heroine Worthy countess You had to Keep Your ethics intact Clann MacDuff You were ruined You were destroyed From the deception of the Earl Without protection or court Your humiliation Your exhibition My curses upon them Who shamed you For eight years In captivity O where did the Powerful woman go Remember The sorrowful tale And the day will come When the lion will rise again |
