Yes, Susanne, Sir David Steele the liberal Politician and my point about Tam o' the Binns is that nationality is quite often a state of mind.
The song appeared on an LP called SCOTLAND FIRST, NEV LP 108, NEVIS RECORDS which I wrote and produced in 1970 with Alastair McDonald singing. It also featured possibly the first contemporary poem to John MacLean which I set to music The poem was written by J S Clarke while MacLean was in Peterhead gaol. Cheers, Jim
