Does this scotland still exist?

[Blacksquareable]

Think this one slipped under the Mary Whitehouse radar! My innocent teenage ears were well truly sullied by that one - all those drones and bags amd chanters before the watershed - I thought it ws great!

Also they included other musicians ont those shows - I remember a really great dulcimer player on one of them. Anyone have any of those vids?

[joeygsmom]

great tune and if you look up the lyrics (like I had to lol) they are funny :-)

[homousios]

This is the first time I heard this. It is fantastic! I love the energy. I did not know about it until now when I read it in Sir Walter Scotts book "Bride of Lammermoor". Thanks

great wee tune

[EMesaros]

What a frolic! I love "Ye heilan' shacker!" It must be Scots for "you jerk!"

[Keir316]

@EMesaros Ah thought he said Heilan Shagger at first ha!

[EMesaros]

@Keir316 Actually, it may mean something very similar!

[SmartServant9693]

Great song, but I can't find any text versions of the chorus anywhere. Does anyone know what they're singing on those parts?

[one23dog]

SmartServant - the chorus is Upstairs an' doon the stairs I play my chanter rarely, The mair ye hug and kiss the girls they mair they want tae marry.
