Subject: RE: Origins: The Battle of Otterburn / Lammas Tide
Sorry if I've missed this being mentioned earlier in the thread, but I can remember reading either on the sleeve notes of an LP, or in one of the song books, that the Corries's Lammas Tide had a modern tune - when they decided to do the song they thought that the tune was too gloomy, so someone (possibly Roy Williamson himself?) wrote a more upbeat one.
