Yes Coshieville is just North of Aberfeldy en route Northward to Loch Rannoch. Having said that, if you blink you miss the village - it's just a few houses on a junction. Having been determined to find the village, I nearly missed it!

Interesting your note about Moriston - I have always sung 'Noriston'!
Could be right!

Beautiful song. Haven't sung it at any of our local folk clubs for ages - must 'bring it out of the bag again'.

A couple of years ago, over a couple of visits to Scotland, my wife and I found ourselves visiting most of the places mentioned. For me, it adds to the song if you can picture the places the writer mentions.

For the record, The McCalmans also did it some years ago (I think it was on their album 'Scottish Songs, back before Derek Moffat sadly died), with Nick Keir doing the vocals, if I remember rightly.

Superb song
