Goatfell and/or guest - awa' wi' ye!! This is a SONG not a history or geography lesson- a song of longing, that has spoken to my generation (we grew up with The Corries when they were a Folk Three and Paddy Bell!!) so - leez' alane wi' oor hauntin' memories an' dreams!!
And if you really want facts, why not contact Ronnie Browne, perhaps he can enlighten you? - depending on his memory.....
