My understanding is that "Shool Aroon" is OOP, and refers to the Wild
Geese - a group of Scot soldiers that went to France to fight in one of
the innumerable wars in the 1700's. My history's a bit rusty, and I don't
have a source handy. Just drawing on memory, from when I learned the song
way a long time ago. I think I first heard it on a Clannad album
(Dulaman?), not sure. The chorus was sung in Gaelic, not nonsense syllables.
