    That wasn't great...

    I much prefer The Proclaimers original to that cover. That said, Jim Malcolm has some wonderful albums.

    The attire looks as if they've been to the kilt hire shop ...

    Here's a cover of another tune better suited for Jim Malcolm's style:

    I agree this one's a bit out of character for him. I guess that's why it caught my attention when I stumbled across it on YouTube. @carolinanan117 and I saw him in concert several years ago. I really like his Songs of Robert Burns album.
