Dave Rado Origins: Wild Mountain Thyme/Braes o' Balquhidder (62* d) RE: Origins: Wild Mountain Thyme/Braes o' Balquhidder 17 Jan 20


Thanks Allan, that's very helpful. But do you - or does anyone - have any idea whether the new tune was written by McPeake or by an anonymous Irishman? (AFAIK that tune wasn't sung in Scotland until McPeake popularised it). And also whether that tune was written specifically for Wild Mountain Thyme or whether it's a traditional air that someone set to WMT?
