For me the finest and most heartfelt version of this song, whatever it's called, came from the traveller singer Davie Stewart.

Spent a bit of time with him around 1970- he died in 1972 on a visit to St Andrews folk club, a great venue for the real thing at the time.

He was known as the 'galoot' by his friends!- don't know whether you'd include Jimmy McBeath in that description- I heard some pretty pointed 'crack' between them at that time!

When in Banff about 40 years ago, I had a meal at a cafe called the 'Broken Fiddle' which had a wonderful mural- it filled one wall! about the whole story- wonder if it's still there?
