This is an excerpt from an article about Stewart Ross, 1929-1993.
"Often I look back on the mistakes I've made - in particular with a song called 'the Highland Road'. The Alexander Brothers, who were riding high at the time, said they liked it and would use it. A year passed - no more was heard - so I let the late Denis Clancy use it.   What next? Yes, you've guessed, the Alexander Brothers phoned from Blackpool asking me to send down the words as they were going to record it. I had to tell them about the other recording and they immediately dropped the whole idea." Stewart Ross, Scots Magazine April 1993.
