What's going on in Scotland?

Caledonia is a modern Scottish folk ballad written by Dougie Maclean in 1977. The chorus of the song features the lyric "Caledonia" you're calling me, and now I'm going home", the term "Caledonia" itself being a Latin word for Scotland. The song became the most popular of all MacLean's recordings and something of an anthem for Scotland "Caledonia" has been covered by a great number of artists.

MacLean wrote the song in less than 10 minutes on a beach in Brittany, France, feeling homesick for Scotland.
