A small but committed bunch of fans keep us in beer and whisky at occasional Friday night gigs in Scone.

Story behind the song
The wonderful sense of relief at getting over the Border and intae Scotland must be in some way equal to the sense of relief that the Romans felt when they marched out in their skidmarked togas.
