Thank you Jim for that further information. Your version is very fine too. However, as it is the older version that the lady at the Cutty Wren was singing to me, that is the version that I will be learning to sing. I am sure this lady will be thrilled to pieces when I sing it at the club in a few weeks' time.

Thank you everyone for your input. Jack, I may be up in Edinburgh again sometime this autumn; it's a few years since I was last up. Maybe bump into you at a folk club or session. I play ukulele now as well as sing; not a Scottish instrument, I know, but never mind...
