Bill Hill, writer of "Portree" is alive, well and a legendary Edinburgh City tour guide. If Bill doesn't know something about old Edinburgh, it's not worth knowing. The song is available on CD along with a lot of equally scurrilous songs from; edinburghtourguide.co.uk".In Bill's version you get all the verses as well. He is a most entertaining companion and a very dear friend. Not of mine but surely somewhere.....
