7. The Scots and their religion.

Bonnie Prince Charlie has not been forgotten, it seems.

There is another version of this song that recorded by Bully Wee on an album about the time I met them. It was not mixed well, and the vocal was somewhat supressed, which is a shame, because the Yardley brothers were both fine vocalists. Even Ian sang on this number! Ian Cutler was their fiddler, and the only Engishman in the group. By the way, if you run into him, he still owes me back my short story book that I lent him. It's only been 48 years, Ian!!!! They used to joke on stage about some song they did that was originally Scottish, but has been taken over by the Irish. Ian reminded the audience that it still had English words. Ah, the days of carefree youth!
