Loch Lomond (with lyrics) - Farewell to the Creeks - Scottish Music

“The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond“, or simply “Loch Lomond“ for short, is a well-known traditional Scottish song first published in 1841 in Vocal Melodies of Scotland. The song prominently features Loch Lomond, the largest Scottish loch, located between the counties of Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire. Loch Lomond was performed live by the Benny Goodman band at The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert performance on January 16, 1938, featuring Martha Tilton on vocals. The song has been recorded by many performers over the years, including the rock band AC/DC, jazz singer Maxine Sullivan (for whom it was a career-defining hit), the Mudmen, and Scottish-Canadian punk band The Real McKenzies.[citation needed] Both Runrig and Quadriga Consort used to perform Loch Lomond as their concert’s final song. In Scotland itself, a live version of the track released on Runrig’s 1988 live album Once in a Lifetime has become the definitive and most well known version of the song
