"Wild Mountain Thyme", also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will You Go Lassie, Go", is an Irish folk song, written by Francis McPeake, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland and first recorded by McPeake in 1957.[1] It is often mistakenly believed to be a traditional song, but the copyright is held by English Folk Dance and Song Society Publications, who published it for McPeake.[2] It was first recorded by Francis McPeake in 1957, and has since been covered by numerous artists.

The song is a variant of The Braes of Balquhidder by Robert Tannahill (1774-1810), which was named after the braes, or hills, of Balquhidder near Lochearnhead. The Braes has a similar lyric which includes the lines "Let us go, lassie, go" and "And the wild mountain thyme".[3][4][5][6]
