Subject: RE: Origin: Scotland the Brave
Sorry Jack I thought you were Lighter!!! That's fantastic research. It's you and Lighter who have done all this work and disprove some of the stuff that's floating on the Internet. In the advert It has Inverness Collection and a long spiel below the Captain S. Fraser and doesn't split the two it's all on one advert. Maybe I'm mixing The Inverness Collection books with Fraser's? Is it in various parts? The advert is a bit confusing and runs together. I have the 1878 edition of the Fraser book (free PDF) and the 1816 one (free PDF) and it's not in either. I'll check the ad. again. The 1859 newspaper printing is definite for the Hyslop 'Scotland the Brave' and the first newspaper mention of the title (so far) - but we'll never know the tune!
