Yeah! it was the early 60's, I think, maybe 62/63, same with Auld Lang Syne, the tune came to prominence from a Tyneside composer called William Shield in an operetta called Rosina, but neither Shield or Robbie Burns laid claim to the tune, Burns added the words |

Stovies is poverty food. Same as mince n tatties and stew. We ate those type of meals a lot when we were younger and poorer. I'm glad my kids will never need to eat shit like that. Haggis is lovely though |

You could always “posh up” the recipe ingredients, if the traditional is too shit for you... maybe use a better class of potato, maybe carmelise the onions instead of just sweating them, and how about using some wagu beef instead of left over roast ???

Apologies, yes words by Roy W, it was the original tune with the local link, originally composed for the Northumbrian small pipes |

Original tune also by Roy Williamson. The tenuous English link is that the instrument used by Roy to compose the tune was the Northumbrian Small pipes - which have more keys on the chanter than the highland pipes - and so has a greater selection of notes available.
You can often hear this in certain parts of the melody when it is sung with pipe band accompanying ... the pipes can’t hit the correct note !

Its always a problem with tenuous links, so much music travelled around and was rarely written down, a classic example is Liverpool Lullaby by Cilla Black based on a 19th century? Tyneside song Sandgate Dandling, so people assume Tyneside was its origin, but even then the original air is believed to have come from London |
