Music
In 2006 Brechin All Records released The Complete Songs of Robert Tannahill Volume 1. Volume 2 was released in 2010, two centuries after Robert Tannahill's death.
Perhaps the most enduring legacy of Robert Tannahill is his song "The Braes of Balquhidder" – the basis for the ballad "Wild Mountain Thyme," which has the chorus "Will Ye Go Lassie, Go." In it he refers to a story from his nursemaid Mary McIntyre of Balquhither parish, wherein she and her mother had baked bannock for the army of Charles Edward Stuart, marching to Culloden.
