Extractions: Assuming that you are referring to a song with Scottish and Canadian connections, the only one which speaks to exiled or immigrant Highlanders is "Canadian Boat Song". The mention of a "degenerate lord" and "his sheep" is an unveiled reference to the Highland Clearances. The "sheiling" is a Highland cottage, and the "claymore" is a Highland broadsword. The line, "Yet the blood is strong, the heart is Highland", truly identifies the strong feelings of many Scottish Canadians. The poem first appeared in the September 1829 issue of Blackwood's Magazine . Thus far, it continues to be attributed to an anonymous author of the 18th century. Several poets have been proposed as authors, but none has taken credit. One of the best possibilities was John Galt (1779 - 1839), the Upper Canada land developer after whom the Ontario town of Galt was named (now part of Cambridge ON). Correspondence with his friend, the physician and poet David Macbeth Moir (1798 - 1851), has been confirmed. In a conversation, Moir is quoted as saying, "By the bye, I have a letter this morning from a friend of mine now in Upper Canada. He was rowed down the St. Lawrence lately, for several days on end, by a set of strapping fellows, all born in that country, and yet hardly one of them could speak a word of any tongue but the Gaelic." As they rowed, the "voyageurs" sang many Gaelic ditties. Thus, there might have been some collaboration in the composition of the poem.
