I conducted this interview with Kevin Patterson of Tweedswood Fishing in June of 2007. To this day I don't think I've ever heard a cooler Scottish accent. Kevin at that time was a mason, and a master fly fisherman - and a heck of a nice guy. We talked later about the movie Braveheart, and he took me down to Melrose Abby after lunch. Melrose is awesome and the people are super nice. I'll share more of my conversations with Kevin in future vids. Kevin - if you're out there, give me a shout. You're tops in my book! Here's a link to me translating Kevin's Scottish: http://youtu.be/g7kQK2KTt_4

Donald McGillavry-O'Neill's Cavalry March from the album "So Many Partings" by Silly Wizard

Lyrics:

Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and Donald Macgillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off wi'the counterfeit, Donald Macgillavry.

Donald's run o'er the hill but his tether, man,
As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man;
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
Here's to King James and Donald Macgillavry.
Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry,
Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry,
Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly;
Gie them full measure, my Donald Macgillavry.

Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery;
Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary,
Better it were for Whigs and Whiggery
Meeting the devil than Donald Macgillavry.
Come like a tailor…
