rich-joy Origins: Wild Mountain Thyme/Braes o' Balquhidder (62* d) RE: Origins: Wild Mountain Thyme/Braes o' Balquhidder 17 Jan 20


Re my last post,
I just located the liner notes for Ewan's LP and he learnt the song from his mother (Betsy Henry/Hendry of Auchterarder) and it seems to be one of the trove of songs his parents brought from Scotland when they moved to England c.1910, for work.

This page also adds to the Tannahill/McPeake origin stories :

But! Sorry, no closer to the origins of the McPeake tune .....
