Despite being so scratchy, this is great fun, especially with the audience participation. Pete Seeger has a good version, too. On the YT vid he has trouble rousing the 1960s Aussie audience to life. It's also on the new CD by Smithsonian Folkways of one of Pete's clandestine college performances from 1960, while he was blacklisted for being "Un-American".
So apparently I had a Great Great Great Great Aunt who started the first Toll Road near the Isle of Skye. Never met her but she sounds like a typical Aunt! (My username is fake my real name is MacKinnon) Bonnie Hieland Laddie!! Shoutout Meguca Squad - half of you were spooks but that's okay, I assume you got drunk with us on movie night anyway.
The Kingston Trio did a version of this too, that included a verse that isn't here (or for that matter in any of the other versions I've seen" I'll leave out the referains for space "Was you ever round Cape Horn, With the Lion and the Unicorn" (Note Lion and Unicorn =British Navy)
"The lion and the unicorn was fighting for the crown. the lion chased the unicorn all around the town." The lion is England and the unicorn is Ireland.
Outlander brought me here to this magical song!
The same!
Same. Just want this song with Richard rankin (Rodger) singing :( it’s not on Apple Music
Ashlyn Larsen Yes I need somebody to record it just like that, it was amazing!

Same
Such an awesome song. But i really wish someone would upload roger MacKenzie's version. (from outlander). Best version i heard
Of course, I came from Outlander, this song keeps me free and warm like my hometown!
Oh Tommy, how we miss you, miss you terribly.
what 3 people "thumbs downed" this great song? there's just no pleasing some people.
The damned English, the lot of them!

I think the Unicorn is Scotland.
Awesome tune! Need clearer quality, but that's hard to get. Thanks for the upload!
This isn't pete seeger. Just because he sang this doesn't mean others didn't do it also. This is Tommy Makem.
Do you have this album? Obscure, had it once, lost it. Great album
Had it on record, thought to preserve the track by posting it here, this was the track we liked the most, Kind Regards.
It's not a shanty it's a British military song
its scottish,
highland*
Yes highland. Sometimes also 'heiland' in the lowland Scots language.
