A freestyle theme...awesome!...Ive been learning The Skye Boat song this week...

This song was written by a man named Sir Harold Edwin Boulton in the 1870s after becoming interested in Scottish folk songs at Oxford University.

The song commemorates the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie from these
shores when Flora Macdonald took him, disguised as a serving maid,
from the Isle of Uist to the Isle of Skye in a small boat.
