Giok, et al:

And yet, occasionally the Broomielaw isn't a quay in Glasgow from which many ships sailed.

        One Hogmany at Glesca Fair
        There was me, mysel' and sev'ral mair
        We a' went off to hae a tear
                And spend the nicht in Rothesay, O.
        We wander'd through the Broomilaw
        Thro' wind and rain and sleet and snaw
        And at forty minutes after twa
                We got the length of Rothesay, O.
