2177)  LOUDON HILL OR DRUMCLOG  The text in this file is a duplicate of  THE BATTLE OF LOUDON HILL.  It might be best simply to delete it, but if not, a cross-reference to the tune in the other file would do the trick.

1086)  FAREWEILL TAE WHISKY  Matt was going to do this one, but hasn't done so far.  On examination, it turns out to bear no relation at all to the well-known Niel Gow tune which I (and perhaps Matt, too) had supposed it to be; it is in fact a version of the song usually called Johnnie My Man.  The DT text is quoted from memory, having been learned from a folk-club singer in the late 1960s, which presumably accounts for the eccentric spelling!  Remembered remarkably well, actually, though verses 2 and 3 as given here should really be in reverse order, and the wife's name is usually Jean rather than Maggie.  Midi made from the notation in Ord's Bothy Songs and Ballads, 1930, with a couple of notes split to accommodate the DT text.  I've set the midi to play at half-speed, as it's usually sung a lot more slowly nowadays than it used to be.
