its a scoundrel or wandering begger from the word hallanshaker , i suppose the corries jist used heilan cus it could refer to a highland scoundrel or beggar since maggie was fae anster - anstruther
Think this one slipped under the Mary Whitehouse radar! My innocent teenage ears were well truly sullied by that one - all those drones and bags amd chanters before the watershed - I thought it ws great! Also they included other musicians ont those shows - I remember a really great dulcimer player on one of them. Anyone have any of those vids?

@Keir316 Actually, it may mean something very similar!
Fab hair-do darling
Does anyone know where this was?
@EMesaros Ah thought he said Heilan Shagger at first ha!
With the audience in mind, Roy Williamson affected to think so too!
Does this scotland still exist?
Check The Corries Official Website--www.corries.com. It is run by Gavin Browne, son of Ronnie Browne.
Better yet, use Google.
Any idea where this was filmed?

It was filmed in a TV studio set up like a club. I believe they had a pre selected audience.
Roy Williamson needed a nose job. But having one might have affected his singing.
It's not like he was some mutated freak or anything, he didn't "need" rhinoplasty. People don't need cosmetic surgery.
