Hi, Looking at recording the traditional song Gallant Murray, AKA Atholl Highlanders. I don't technically need to know because it's pronounced the same in every rendition I've heard, but is the line supposed to be: "Scour the DARK and face the danger" OR "Scour the DIRK and face the danger"? Either would work - one is to search the night for signs of the enemy, the other is to clean your skean dhu before battle. Whenever I find lyrics, it is spelled "DURK."
