He does say in announcing the piece that it is Scotch. I really must correct this on behalf of all Scots. The music is Scottish or Scots. Scotch, on the other hand, is I believe a rather famous amber nectar distilled in various parts of Scotland. My own current favourite being a 12 year old single malt with a smoky flavour from the Isle of Islay. A happy and prosperous new year to all.
Hi Mike... you know every time I watch this I think maybe I translated what he said wrong, that he HAD actually said "Scottish" not Scotch, which, as you are aware, is a drink not a nationality. Happy new year!

This is one of my favourite songs, though I wouldn't have recognised it as I've always heard it played at a MUCH faster pace than this.
If you look up "macphersons lament" on Google you'll find the true story of its origins
I don't know where ken would have got his version from?
