Thread Name: Origins: Green Hills of Tyrol/Scottish Soldier
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Green Hills of Tyrol/Scottish Sold
That's interesting, Nick. The credits for The Scottish Soldier say it was published in 1960 and there is no mention of the tune being trad. Stewart/McFadyen obviously knew it as a pipe tune and either assumed it was trad which would mean that the pipe major, to whom The Green Hills of Tyrol is accredited, had been dead for 50 (now 70) years which is unlikely or his contribution was ignored.
