Rowan Tree

Amber Whitney

A traditional Scottish song sung by Amber on the ‘Celtic Shores 2’ album accompanied by Dr. Mark Funk on Bagpipes and Samantha Moffatt on Hammered Dulcimer.

The Rowan Tree was believed to be magical and wishes might be granted if the person leaned against the tree awhile. Now a’ are gan! We meet nae mair aneath the Rowan tree: But hallowed thoughts around tee twine o’ hame and infancy. Oh rowan tree.
