Talk:A Scottish Soldier

What is the dispute about? (Trevek (talk) 22:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC))

I have modified this article and can see no reason why it is still disputed.(83.13.39.98 (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC))

As nobody seems to want to reply I have further modified and removed the POV dispute notice. (Trevek (talk) 21:40, 3 April 2008 (UTC))

-- References -- This page requires references. As much as I adore the song, rationally I cannot allow this page to be maintained unless it becomes appropriately referenced. Furthermore, Trevek: it is not appropriate to remove a POV dispute notice. 121.215.69.121 (talk) 13:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

References were made in the video link and external references, although the link giving the history of the song now appears to be dead it had the info at the time of of adding (over 2 years ago). The following link may be more upto date: http://kilby.sac.on.ca/ActivitiesClubs/cadets/Piping/GreenHillsofTyrol.htm. Whilst it may not be appropriate to remove the POV, it has taken over 2 years for that objection to be raised and there was no reply to earlier requests for verification as to what and why there was a POV notice on it.

Copyright

I don't see how we can quote the full lyrics here, given that (unlike the melody) they must surely still be in copyright. On another note, the John MacLeod link just goes to a disambiguation page, and none of the people there seem to be the right one. 86.136.250.218 (talk) 01:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

A Scottish soldier in the Alps?

Anyone knows why "Tyrol"? If this Tyrol is the one referenced (i.e. in the Alps), how could a Scottish soldier find himself there? 79.16.133.65 (talk) 23:50, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

According to this page the tune was used by a Regimental piper who served in the Crimea. Perhaps there was a connection with British troops travelling through Tyrol at the time. Also, the tune is based on a traditional European tune, so perhaps it was the original title. : http://kilby.sac.on.ca/activitiesclubs/cadets/piping/GreenHillsofTyrol.htm (79.190.69.142 (talk) 12:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC))

In the 16th century there were a number of Scottish mercenaries operating in Europe. This article tells of their descendants: https://www.thelocal.it/20160302/gurro-italys-little-scotland-colonized-by-highland-warriors/ and https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9780748632046-013/pdf (46.205.128.138 (talk) 20:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC))
