The John Strachan version is now available on his Rounder Portrait CD, Rounder 82161-1835-2. For me the finest compilation of Scottish 1950s Scottish song is the Rounder CD number 1743, a reissue of 1951 Lomax recordings of Scots and Gaelic singers as the Scotland album of the World Library of Folk and Primitive Music. Stuffed with gems. I cannnot recall for sure [although I have been told] if this is the Heather and Glen material under the older title, or if Heather and Glen was a 'followup' -I think it is the latter.
