The Corries-MacPherson's Rant, live recording!

MacPherson's rant!

[@bryancunningham5071]

The story goes he was sentenced to death for bearing arms at a market. It was the rivals of his family who was behind this. A reprieve was on its way from Edinburgh, and when they got wind of this, they ordered the west facing clock in Mcduff be put forward 15 minutes in time , ensuring that the execution went ahead without hinderence. As punishment for the part that the clock tower played in the events, it was ordered that the said west facing clock be covered for all time, and to this day, still is.

Grew up with my dad playing the corries I’m 38 n remember the Hogmanay special they done in memory of Roy Williamson as he had just passed away . My dad always said he regretted never going to see them whilst Roy was alive . Roy Williamson wrote flower of Scotland what a legend in the folk industry 💙

these two were made to sing together. their voices create a lovely harmony. i love them and their music

The Sherrif, knowing that a pardon was on the way, had the hands on the toon clock changed to bring forward the time of execution. The clock was later moved and now resides in the clock tower in the middle of Dufftown (in Strathspey).

There is a recording of my grandad singing MacPherson's rant. The song has a personal connection. I like The Corries,

Knowing a few McPhersons, they have not changed much. Not afraid of much.

He smashed the fiddle because no one was willing to play him that song in his honor, because if they did they too would of been hung.

Showing my age now........ This takes me back to being a teenager in 1987 and stopping up late to watch this! The Corries were brilliant.

Not just a lyrical genius but also a story teller! Scotlands originals!

[@magnuswalker7957]

We lost them all too soon but thankfully I am old enough to have been able to see them live a few times.

[@BryanHRBrodie]

Love this song. I grew up next to the market and the broken fiddle cafe and love the story of this song. It means a lot. So much history in banff

[@dh1872]

The very best of the Scottish musicians, never trust yer government.

[@cm.s.2164]

This is the ONLY group I download every song I can find by them.

[@VoxGothica]

This recording is 35 years old and Ronnie Brown looked about as old then as he does now.
