"A Scottish soldier" is a Scottish folk song. The lyrics were written by Andy Stewart. The song is about a dying Scottish soldier, wishing to return to the hills of his homeland rather than die in Tyrol.
The tune, "The Green Hills of Tyrol", is a well-known melody in the Scottish bagpipe tradition and was transcribed by John MacLeod during the Crimean War from "La Tua Danza Sì Leggiera," a chorus part in the third act of Gioachino Rossini's 1829 opera Guglielmo Tell (William Tell). Rossini adapted that tune from Alpine folk music.

At waterloo I think it was the 92nd Gordon Highlanders, but I could be wrong, at the end of the day it is your family not mine.

I am once again approaching the aniversary of my Scottish mother's death - Ethel (Dawson; maternal) Aird (Maiden) Craig (1st) Kartenbeck (2nd) - born in Greenock, emigrated to South Africa n died far from those Green Hills. Glenzboyz always seem to have superb vids with the music - my thanks.
