Poet and songwriter Hamish Henderson was born in Blairgowrie, Perthshire. For many years he travelled around Scotland collecting traditional songs and tales. Hamish Henderson was instrumental in introducing many remarkable voices and a rich store of traditional song to a far wider public.

Paddy once worked with Hamish Henderson and thinks that the bar featured in the Songs of Scotland film has since been demolished but used to be near Forrest Road by the University as Hamish used to be a regular there.
