A Scottish Soldier

This may have already been posted on here, but it is one of my favourite songs (I even like it more than anything by Lou Reed or The Who).
Andy Steward was a true Highland Gentleman.

Nice! I have not heard lyrics to that oft-played tune. I played it at lunch today.

I couldn't agree more! Always a splendid, highly evocative tune and I never tire of seeing this video (and others featuring Andy Stewart). Performed by a true great!

Here's a splendid, wee video regarding Mr. Stewart as well:

Brilliant! I was brought up on Andy Stewart. I'm sure this link must have been posted before, but just in case a few are not familiar (the X Marks anthem?). . .

When I was a boy, that song was immensely popular on the South African airwaves.
But we had no TV in those days, so when I get home (I can’t watch videos on the office computer) I will have to watch this one.
