Thanks, Ken for your lyrics. I can recommend the Ken Campbell Band (no relation!) for excellent music and songs. Saw their Edinburgh Festival gig a couple of years ago and unfortunately haven't been able to catch any more since. I still have the "Ideal Band" LPs from years ago - great stuff.

Googling the "Baron of Buchlyvie" reveals that he is remembered locally in Baron Court, a recent addition to the development of the village, and honoured as the logo of Buchlyvie Primary School. I can remember when Mr Brown the head teacher used to ferry the whole school football team (ie quite a large proportion of the boys in school at that time) around in his VW Beetle. Things improved slightly when he got a Mercedes Benz (but only very slightly!)
