Songs about the wearin' of the kilt
Seeing as one of various past-times is collecting 78 rpm records and records in general, I was curious about song related to kilt wearing. Of course we all know of these two:
Bryan Bowers - The Scotsman
Andy Stewart - Donald, Where's Yer Troosers? -- and the version by BBC Radio 2's Ken Bruce for Children in Need from last year.
But, one of my favourite is one by a man who's music I have enjoyed since I was a teen, Sir Harry Lauder. In 1913 he recorded a real corker called The Kilty Lads. You can hear it here:

He also recorded a song called That's The Reason Noo I Wear a Kilt. A version from 1908 is on:

from 1911

and from 1928

So - does anyone else know of any others -- particularly old timey stuff
