No way is this a product of the Mc Peakes. They sang it and made it popular in the 60's folk song revival but never claimed authorship. the present Young Francie Mc Peake's father (Wee Francie R.I.P.) told me personally that the song was the Tannahill song "The Braes of Balquidder". Its use as backing track to an Ad. on British T.V. recently led to threats from the Mc Peakes to sue. What we are dealing with here and now was gone into thoroughly in the local press. The threat was quietly dropped. But all this can be read in the Archives. Annraoi
