Good to see Irving Welsh being interviewed live from the U.S. about the killings in France on Channel 4 News tonight. While listening to his comments couldn't take my eyes of the jacket he was wearing which had HIBS 1875 emblazoned on it.

Complete thread hijack, but I've always loved that song.

Kelty Clippie
Thanks. I used to post but this is my first one for at least a couple of years. Although I live in Dunfermline now I was brought up in Kelty so 'Kelty Clippie' is a song that has a particular resonance for me. Originally Posted by CropleyWasGod

Here's the composer, an aging John Watt, with his sidekick Davey Stewart singing the song at Collessie.

The original recording - see the link below. The cover shows both muckers in their prime on Ainster pier. I believe that old vinyl LP may be avail on CD.
