kytrad,

you may be right, but still it IS credited as a MacKintosh song on his Cd "Just my cup of tea". For instance, see:

Iain MacKintosh is not just some young upstart busker, but an important figure in the Scottish folk scene (even though he has now retired). I am convinced that he wouldn't commit plagiarism, so I guess there might be some other kind of explanation. Can anybody help us out here?
