Also known as "An Oileán Dorcha", "The Dark Island Lament", "Dark Isle" and "Dr. McInnes’s Farewell To South Uist". This air was originally called "Dr. Mackay's Farewell to Creagorry" by its composer Iain McLachlan. When David Silver of Inverness was asked to write a song for a BBC thriller called "The Dark Island", filmed in Benbecula (an island in the Outer Hebrides between North Uist and South Uist opposite Skye), he used McLachlan‘s air and set words to it, inspired by the island of Benbecula. It has been recorded by many people and groups. I learned it from the recording by James Galway And The Chieftains. I always play this as an instrumental and usually in a medley with "Crossing to Ireland" in the Celtic section or "Logan Water", in this section.
