Possibly my favourite version so far:
Nb. I think they mean written by William McPeake (But then I do over-rely on Wikipedia!)

Wild Mountain Thyme
An old favourite of mine as it was one of the first tunes I learned to strum on the guitar. Here's a sublime version featuring Dick Gaughan, Emmylou Harris, Rufus Wainwright and Kate and Anna McGarrigle:
"Wild Mountain Thyme" was written by William McPeake and first recorded in 1957. Many believe it to be based on "The Braes of Balquhidder" by Robert Tannahill, a Scottish poet of the previous century.
