"Clash Of The Ash" is the first single from Runrig's thirteenth studio album Everything You See, and was released as a single in 2007. The song is about the sport of shinty and has become an anthem for the sport. Runrig have previously referenced shinty in the songs "Pride Of The Summer" from The Cutter And The Clan and "Recovery" from the album of the same name. The song also appeared on the 2013 compilation album Larry Kirwan's Celtic Invasion.
The song is about the sport of shinty and the first verse revolves around a team making their way to an away game, through "straths and glens". Prominent throughout the song is the use of nicknames, which are a common element.
The second verse is a portrayal of a game against Kinlochshiel, the only shinty team named in the song in the line:
But if we do all that and there’s no-one spare
Tell me who’s gonna mark the Kinlochshiel Bear.
This verse refers to various positions on the shinty park as well as the sawdust, a reference to the penalty box aka the "D" which is often marked out with sawdust instead of paint.

Hey, now boys there’s something not right
Did anyone see Willie at the dance last night
Let’s pick up Boa without a fuss
Chuck him in with caimans at the back of the bus
‘Cause we’re running late, it’s way past ten
We’re driving through the straths and glens
Come on, Johnny Bulla, make it fast
For the 12 noon throw-up
And the clash of the ash
Well we’d better make change now it seems
Geek to the centre, Weed to the wing
The Rocket’s old and slow and due to retire
Stick him right on the sawdust ready to fire
But if we do all that and there’s no-one spare
Tell me who’s gonna mark the Kinlochsheil Bear
He’s hard as nails, quick as a flash
He comes down from the caves
For the clash of the ash
This story started long ago
With heroes forges and legends told
And for every fighting highland man
Stand by your brother, die for the clan
But when the whistle blows and the battle’s done
These shinty boys shine like the sun
We don’t play for fame, we don’t play for cash
We just play for the glory
