What is your favorite Kilt related song?

**Oatmeal Savage** · 18th September 07, 02:42 PM

Sitting here reading posts and listening to Andy Stewart I had an idea, I don't know if it is a good one. What is your favorite Kilt or Highland related song? Mine would have to be "Donald where's your trousers" for kilt and "A Scottish Soldier" for highland.

For a kilt song
"Donald where's your trousers" was sung to me at work on one of the first days I wore my Isle of Skye tartan in.
As for a Highland song would "Highland Cathedral" count?

Are there words to Highland Cathedral?

I'm going to have to go with "The Scotsmen"

No but I like it, and that is why I asked.

So how about

Skye Boat Song

That's way too hard to decide on the fly, as I relate any pipe music to kilt. So, to me, Pipes = Kilts!

The odd thing about "The Scotsman" is that the version most often heard is not played by the original artist, but is a cover. Mike Cross was the original artist, and is a great musician.

Does it differ at all in the original version, or is it relatively the same? I have heard probably 10 different groups covering the song over the past year alone, and they are all pretty much the same. Normally the only thing that changes is the tempo.

"The Scotsman" has to be "the classic."
Though, I do get tired of it ever so often. Particularly, after I play it in my car radio, in traffic, kilted, top (car top) down (in an MX-5 Miata), for the umpteenth time in a row.

Then, I just go to the next song on the CD.

So, what are some OTHER really good and/or funny "kilt" songs (not "Scottish," but particularly KILT related.)
