Neil (1991) relates: "It is on record that, in the old days, the playing of this nostalgic Gaelic air to the Highland regiments on active service abroad had such a profound adverse effect on the morale of the men, that eventually it had to be banned."
A pipe setting of the tune appears in the Boys of the Lough book. Another setting was used as a vehicle for words by the Lowland Scots poet Allan Ramsay (b. 1696) entitled "Lochaber No More" ("Farewell to Lochaber, Farewell to My Jean"), a song from the Tea Table Miscellany (1714) that relates the feelings of a Highland soldier's leave-taking for active service abroad and the sense he will not return.
It is in this spirit that the tune is sometimes heard at funerals, as, for example, when it was movingly played at the 1927 funeral of the great Scots fiddler/composer James_Scott_Skinner, by the noted bagpiper and composer G. S. McLennan (who was ill with cancer himself at the time, and who died later the same year).
Farewell to Lochaber, farewell to my Jean
Where heartsome wi' her I ha'e many day days been
For Lochaber no more, we'll maybe return
We'll maybe return to Lochaber no more.
These tears that I shed, they are a' for my dear,
An' no' for the dangers attending on weir,
Tho' bourne on rough seas to a far distant shore,
May be return to Lochaber no more.
