Reviews

‘It is also a book that tells with disarming honesty the definitive story of the establishment of The Corries, of their early trials and tribulations, of their growing success, and of their establishment as Scottish icons.’
*Undiscovered Scotland*

‘What unfolds is an incredibly evocative depiction of a young life in post-war Britain, and it is worth reading the book for his reminiscences of those early days alone.’
*Scots Whay Hae*

‘Likeable because its tone is conversational and confiding, and there are few Scots who have a life story like Ronnie Browne’s to confide.’
*The Scots Magazine*

‘Beautifully written, magic memories that made me laugh and cry. So wonderful the singer, so wonderful the poet, such special times remembered and recalled.’
*Finbar Furey*

‘That Guy Fae the Corries has been synonymous with Scottish Rugby ever since he gave us permission to sing Flower of Scotland as our anthem. Now Ronnie Browne’s story gives an illuminating insight into the story behind Flower of Scotland, his life, and is a fascinating and enjoyable read.’
*David Sole, Scottish Rugby Grand Slam Captain*

‘One of the most significant voices in 20th century Scottish folk music.’
