DESCRIPTION:
Caledonia is a modern Scottish folk ballad written by Dougie MacLean. The chorus features the lyrics "Caledonia, you're calling me, and now I'm going home".
The song has become something of an anthem for Scotland (the term "Caledonia" itself is a Latin word for Scotland). The song was featured in an advert on Scottish television for the Homecoming Scotland 2009, a campaign by VisitScotland which invited people to come home to Scotland in 2009 (the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns's birth). The advert featured a variety of Scottish actors, singers and celebrities, including Sean Connery, Sir Chris Hoy, Eddi Reader and Lulu, all of whom sang (or spoke, as Connery did) part of the song.
