I thought I'd put up something that's fitting for the anticipation of Halloween. This is a very old traditional Scottish song sung by Hamish Imlach in 1966. Instead of having myself talk about the song, I'll let Hamish do it instead. Enjoy!

  • How good to hear a version which really understands the sinister feel of the song, most of the others on here don't seem to get it all.

  • Hamish was born in Calcutta but conceived in Glasgow!, he was and is still sadly missed by folk enthusiasts the world over!! God bless him!
