Overview
The title of the album is a line from "The Uist Tramping Song". It was their first album in stereo and "The Uist Tramping Song" gives the three male voices very distinct stereo separation. On this album there are two sea shanties, and only one Jacobite song. For the first time Roy Williamson is given a lead vocal (Verdant Braes O' Screen) but his voice is weak compared to later albums. In the liner lines by W Gordon Smith he is cast in the role of an absent-minded scholar. Paddie Bell sings "Fear A Bhata", with the chorus in Gaelic. Their singing of "Killiecrankie" was recorded on film and broadcast on "The White Heather Club" at about the time that this album was recorded.
