Andy Stewart – The Artist

Andrew Stewart (1933 – 1993) was a Scottish singer and entertainer. He presented the BBC TV variety show The White Heather Club throughout the 1960s, and his song “Donald Where’s Your Troosers?” was a hit in both 1960 and 1989. Internationally, the song most closely associated with Stewart is “A Scottish Soldier”. Stewart’s patriotic wearing of tartan and his use of stereotypical Scottish humour throughout the 1960s, echoed the music hall style and songs of fellow Scot Sir Harry Lauder. He is also remembered for being the compere of The White Heather Club. This was a BBC Scotland television programme that existed as an annual New Year’s Eve party (1957–1968), and also as a weekly early-evening series (1960–1968). At the height of its popularity, the show had a viewership of 10 million.

A Scottish Soldier – The Song

A Scottish Soldier is a song written by Andy Stewart using the tune of “The Green Hills of Tyrol”, which was transcribed by John MacLeod during the Crimean War from “La Tua Danza Sì Leggiera”, a chorus part in the third act of Gioachino Rossini’s 1829 opera Guglielmo Tell (William Tell). The song is about a dying Scottish soldier, wishing to return to the hills of his homeland rather than die in the Tyrol. The song spent 36 weeks in the UK Singles Chart in 1961.

The Scottish Soldier – The Shape
