Roddy	Wild mountain thyme (84* d)	RE: Wild mountain thyme	17 Apr 99
Let's put this to bed once and for all:- 1. The song is indeed Tannahill's "Braes o' Balquidder." 2. The claim that Francis Mc Peake Sr. - the grandfather of the present "Young" Francie - wrote it is spurious. 3. There was no court case which "the Mc Peakes won". There was lots of local interest in the use of the song in the TV ad. and some threatening noises were made, but the claim was so patently wrong that the whole thing was quietly forgotten .
