(Words: Joseph Train Traditional – Music: © Douglas McLean 2007) Joseph Train (1779-1852), was born in Ayrshire. His first slim volume of songs was seen by Sir Walter Scott who was complimentary about the work. Scott would no doubt have approved of the sentiments of "Old Scotia". The song fit a rousing melody I had been working with for a long time. It truly expresses the way many of us feel about our Scottish homeland.
