I claim to be the Scots and possibly the world expert on Coulter's Candy, which turns out to be first cousin to Johnny Johnston took a notion For to cross the raging sea sometimes claimed for Liverpool but with a more complex pedigree. I have visited Robert Coultart's house in Galashiels where he probably made his hard candy in the 1870s, and found several old verses not in the Digital Tradition text. Turns out he he a brain tumour, that's why he went around singing in a happily disinhibited way, and got all the kids following him about. Any minute now there's a 30 minute documentary on Japanese TV about the song and the man. Am I not a self-satisfied little researcher? Ewan
