Notting Hillbillies Blues Stay away from me​


Please indulge me for a moment while I tell the story of my experience with this song.
Years ago, I was hunting for Bonnie Prince Charles' gold coins in northern Scotland. ( BPC sympathizers had attempted to sail gold coin from France to Scotland. They were trapped in the Klye of Tongue, abandoned ship and tossed the gold coins into a small lake near the town of Tongue.) The gold was 'documented' by one coin having been found in later years.) I didn't have Scuba gear with me but did MD the perimeter of the lake: Nada.
But the real treasure was camping by the nearby Smoo Cave and then going to a pub in Durness where I heard this song and the complete tape. After a few pints, I made an offer of $5 for the tape--and it was accepted. I still have the tape, a reminder of that great experience; a treasure to me.
Don in So Cal.
