Our Gaelic consultant, Gillebride MacMillan, composed the melody for “The Swan Song” that Roger teaches the students at his Gaelic class.
Lyrics below, give ‘em a try! 🎵
Latha chaidh Calum Cille cuairt
Guile gi, gùile gi, guile gò guile go
Moch madainn tràth san uair
Guile gi, gùile gi, guile gò guile go
Chunnacas eala bhuainn
Guile gi, gùile gi, guile gò guile go
An eala bhàn ‘s i snàmh air cuan
Guile gi, gùile gi, guile gò guile go
‘s i seinn a h-òrain bàis buan
Guile gi, gùile gi, guile gò guile go
A day that Calum Cille went on a journey
[SWAN CALLS]
At a time early in the morning
[SWAN CALLS]
A swan from seen from us
[SWAN CALLS]
A white swan swimming on the ocean
[SWAN CALLS]
And singing her eternal death song
[SWAN CALLS]

Remember… there is a lot of work makeup-wise when it comes to wounds. For a story like Walter’s leg, there has to be a lot of preparation. — Ann McEwan, Makeup and Hair Designer
