Big Tim Tune Req: Charlie Is My Darling (43) RE: Charlie Is My Darling 07 Aug 09

Chevalier is correct - as written by the song's lyricist Lady Nairne, born Carolina Oliphant, 1766 -1845. Her parents were disappointed that she wasn't a boy but they named her after Bonnie Prince anyway.

'When Charlie came tae oor toun', could this refer to Bonnie Prince Charlie's visit to Gascon Hall, (Perthshire) the home of Lady Nairne, in 1745, bearing in mind the old Scots meaning of 'toun'?
