1. The Hiking Song
(Alex Rankin, Alex MacKenzie)
Been singing this since I bought the record

2. Bright Eyes

Lovely words and music (and bunny rabbits)

3. When the Children are Asleep
(Oscar Hammerstein, Richard Rodgers)
One of the best songs from Carousel

4. Cant Help Falling in Love
(Wise/Peretti/Creator)
Cant help singing this song!

5. A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Square
(Maschwitz/Sherwin)
Top of the Pops when my Mum and Dad
got married in 1940.

6. A Land for all Seasons
(Cass/Climie)
The lyrics paint a wonderful picture of our
Scottish Landscape.

7. Sometime When We Touch
(Dan Hill/Barry Mann)
Ive enjoyed singing this one since Dan Hill
had the hit with it over thirty years ago.

8. When You Wish Upon a Star
(Ned Washington/Leigh Harlin)
A Disney Classic...

9. Caledonia

(Dougie MacLean)
Dougies words and music make this a
great song to sing.

10. Che Faro Senza Euridice?
(Gluck)
Apologies to opera lovers, but I do like
singing this lovely Aria.

11. The Nearness of You
With more of Ned Washingtons words,
and music by Hoagy Carmichael its
no surprise this smoochy number was
another hit from 1940.

12. Lochnagar
(Byron/Gibson)
One of the finest Scottish songs and a
favourite mountain - my first Munro (with
the school hill-walking club). Lord Byron
attended the same school, but hed left
before I got there!

13. The Proud Peaks of Scotland
(David Silver/Ian Gourlay)
Romanticism may be, but this song tells of
our great mountains as they really are!
