Blue Skies
On Springthyme SPRCD 1002 John Watt & Davey Stewart - Shores of the Forth In his sign-out from the album John mentions various Fife people and places. Onesiphorus Tyndall-Bruce was an Englishman, the only one on this record, who in 1849 restored Falkland Palace and built the church there. His monument stands on Green Hill, Falkland. Largo Law is the hill to the North of Upper Largo, a Fife village close by Lower Largo, the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, otherwise known as Robinson Crusoe. Robin is responsible for the pun (the 'long arm' of the Largo Law). The tune, Blue Skies, is of course by Irving Berlin - to whom copyright may have been paid.
