• A Cholla mo Rùn

‘S a Cholla mo rùn seachain an caol

Seachain an caol, seachain an caol

Cholla mo rùn seachain an caol

Seachain an caol, tha mi,

Tha mi làimh, tha mi làimh.



‘S a Cholla mo ghràdh seachdain am bàgh

Seachain am bàgh, seachain am bàgh

Cholla mo ghràdh seachain am bàgh

Seachain an bàgh, tha mi,

Tha mi làimh, tha mi làimh.



‘S a Cholla mhìn a Mhic a’ Phì

Gur àrd a chluinneas fuaim do phìob

Eadar an Coire 's an Crianan

Mach 's a-steach mu bheul Chaol Ìle

O fhalbh, o fhalbh

(Seinn dà thuras)



‘S a Cholla ghaòlaich, ghlac 'ad mi

Cholla ghaolaich, ghlac 'ad mi

‘S a Cholla ghaòlaich, ghlac 'ad mi

Gur h-ann sa chaòl a ghlac 'ad mi



'S a Cholla ghràdhaich sàbhail mì

Cholla ghràdhaich sàbhail mi

'S a Cholla ghràdhaich sàbhail mì

Gur h-ann sa bhàgh a ghlac 'ad mì



‘S a Cholla mo rùn seachain an Dùn

Seachain an Dùn, seachain an Dùn

Cholla mo rùn seachain an Dùn

Seachain an Dùn, tha mi,

Tha mi làimh, tha mi làimh.

The pibroch known as 'The Piper's Warning to his Master' is another of the most famous pibrochs we hear today, and its background is an interesting one. It was made for a man called Colla MacDonald. He was also known as Colla Ciotach (Left-handed Colla). He belonged to the branch of the MacDonalds in Islay and Kintyre. Colla was at sea in his galley one day, and decided to send his piper and some of his men to capture a castle on the mainland of Argyll. Unfortunately, they were captured by the Campbells. Some of the men were killed, and others including the piper were imprisoned.

Some time later, Colla's galley was seen, sailing into the sound near to the castle. The Campbells were delighted when they saw their enemy coming, and they told the piper to play a tune, as if to welcome his master. They did not realise that Colla would recognise from the tune that he was in danger. When Colla and his men heard the music, they realised immediately that something was wrong, and made their escape. It is said that the piper had his hand cut off as a result of his action.
