I've had my haggis. Now time for the whisky.
As an Englishman, it's hard to judge how wrong it would be to put out an Irish song on Burns Night. Well, I've run out of Scottish 78s, and I thought this was (the word ‘Glen’ tricked me), so this will have to do. I've wanted to post it for a while anyway.
The Hills of Glenswilly - John McGettigan & His Irish Minstrels
Have to admit I bought this for the innuendo potential, but it's a nice, if maudlin, little record.
It may put noses out of joint, but then I can always point you to all my previous Burns posts here! That should shut ye up!

I've just realised the only way I can make up for this is by finding a Scottish record and posting it on St. Patrick's day or Bloomsday or something.
