3. "Sweet Mystery" Ralph McTell (sorry, i missed the previous posts).

4. "The Very Fat Man Who Waters the Worker's Beer" - Paddy Ryan (in fact a professional gentleman, Dr. R. E. W. Fisher, using an alias to conceal his leftist leanings)

5. Flower of Scotland (Written by Roy Williamson of "The Corries") Although "Flower of Scotland" is not a traditional song, it has been adopted as Scotland's de facto national anthem, along with "Scotland the Brave". The lyrics commemorate the defeat of Edward II at Bannockburn in 1314. (thanks Harry)

6. 6. "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" - Bob Dylan. 'nuff said.

7. "Danny Deever" - Rudyard Kipling / Peter Bellamy. (thanks again, Harry)

8. (Harry again) "Ellen Vanin" - Hughie Jones.

9. The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore - Jean Ritchie. (thanks Jeri)

I don't think there's much malt on Mingulay, though. Anyone get a little closer for No. 10?

Cheers!
Ian
