"I can't remember when I last heard Jock O' Hazeldean but it was most likely by Dick Gaughan in about 1975."

The last time I heard Jock O' Hazledean was a couple of years ago downstairs in the Royal Oak in Edinburgh. The barmaid was listening intently and when the Lady avoids her wedding and runs off with Jock, the barmaid sniffed and loudly declared with finality "the tart!".
