I, too, am interested in the history of this Wild Mountain Thyme, believed by many to be an old traditional one. I've heard a story that Francis McPeak wrote it because he'd heard Braes of Balquidder, but couldn't remember the words. (Major lyric creep.) Do you know if this is true?

I'd like to hear about your dark past - how you got started collecting, what it was like, and maybe some stories about interesting people or things that happened.
