Subject: RE: Info Req: Loch Lomond/You Take the High Road
ETA: From reading the various threads here and what is currently at Wikipedia, it seems that the familiar tune (as in Red Is the Rose) may have been gleaned by Lady Scott, along with the "By yon bonnie banks ... " lyrics from hearing a boy singing it on the street --
OR
those lyrics were set (by someone) to an older tune of unknown origin.
I'm just trying to figure out what I should use for attribution when I pass this song along.
