3. A Scottish chieftain is in love with the
daughter of Lord Ullin. The Scots have
close knit clans and are very proud of their
clans. This often resulted in feuds and
fights.
Lord Ullin does not approve of his
daughter's choice and threatens to kill the
chief's son. The two lovers escape and come
to a large lake called the loch. It is a stormy
night and going into the lake in this
weather could be quite dangerous.

4. The chieftain's son offers the boatman a
silver pound to ferry them across. The
boatman is quite surprised at this request
and would like to know who they are. The
lover tells him. They have been running for
3 days now. He is sure that if caught he
will be killed. His blood will stain the
heather.
The brave boatman offers to take them
across. He says that he does so not for
money, but because of the charming lady. It
is not for her silver bright but for her
winsome lady.

5. The dark clouds gathered. The storm
grew fierce. The lady pleaded with
the men to hurry. She would rather
venture into the stormy waters than
meet the wrath of her father. I'll
meet the raging of the skies. But not
an angry father.
The lovers were taken into the
stormy waters. But the winds were
hard and the tempest too strong.
The boat soon capsized and the frail
occupants of the boat fell into the
lake and were soon drowned.

6. Just at that moment Lord Ullin
reached the bank. His anger had melted
away and now he was close to tears his
wrath was changed to wailing.
He saw the raised hand of his child,
before she sank into the water with her
lover. He called out to her in grief,
promising to accept her lover the chief's
son. But he was too late. The lovers
had met their watery grave.
