Thread Name: Lyr Add: 23rd Psalm in Scots
Subject: 23rd Psalm in Scots
Hello All,

I was on this website: www.rampantscotland.com/songs/ and I noticed that it has a version of the 23rd Psalm in Scots. I had a look at it and thought that it sounded really good in Scots and indeed is superior to the English hymn version which has always seemed a bit 'clunky' to me. The thing is, the Scots version doesn't fit to either of the usual tunes which are used for this hymn (Crimond and Belmont). The more I looked at the words, and tried to fit a replacement tune to them, the more 'The Road and the Miles to Dundee' kept pushing it's way into my head. What do you guys think? Do you think it would be okay to sing it to this tune or doea anyone know of something more suitable? Has anyone heard this actually being sung?

Ta,

Griffy
