Julie Fowlis closes the BBC’s D-Day 80 commemorations in Portsmouth, on June 5th 2024.

"The Parting Glass" is a Scottish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was purportedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne". It refers to the "parting glass", or "stirrup cup", which was the final hospitality offered to a departing guest. Once they had mounted their horse, they were presented one final drink to fortify them for their travels.

“But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all”
