>"Braes of Balquidder" polished by the McPeake family...
So I'm on morally defensible ground if I stick to the Tannahill words, or "polish" 'em meself, but what about the air? Do the McPeakes claim ownership of that, or does it have an older provenance?
BTW I agree that it's not necessarily better, but it is better known -- no one ever requests "Braes" to sing along with :-)
