Sorry Malcolm but you are wrong. My wee music teacher at Sacred Heart Cumbernauld told us that Willie Wallace and Lame John Dougal are precisely the men in the song. 'John Dougal a' lain' translates to John Dougal the lame. Famous brave men of Scottish history who would have brooched no nonsense from their wives. The wee Cooper therefore is no man if he allows his wife to behave in such a fashion and sullies the memory of strong Scottish men
