Its incredible how some folk today belittle this wonderful old style of traditional enjoyment. It brings back incredible memories for me of a time when life seemed so much simpler - and more sincere.
I always remember watching this withy parents. My father was Scottish and my mother was Irish! So I've got some truly wonderful heritage especially the music! Aye! X😁🏴🇨🇮🙋
A wonderful combination of the old celtic clans. With Irish and Scottish ancestry you should be a wonderful singer AND an excellent fighter in time of need.
We're celebrating 2024 properly now in AUTHENTIC manner with this wee gem I need to after watching the offerings on the main stations.😢 Peeling back the years.
When my family left Ireland for work in England . There was no connection from RTE Television to BBC . So this lovely programme from Scotland was our only connection on the television to Celtic culture . Thank you White Heather club . Some of the Songs and many of the dances were part of Irish tradition too.
Don’t know what to say this amazing man, who my mom& dad respected, but I let them down, became they are today my idols, my childhood xmas memories, god bless 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕
Brilliant, talented people, one and all - singers, musicians, accompanists, dancers. Such a pity that Scotland has turned its back on this type of entertainment. We certainly haven't found anything to replace it. Like Ireland, we should be proud of our heritage and encourage it. Scots only become traditionalists when they move abroad. Visitors love this type of show, but its almost impossible to find anythere these days because theatres etc take their lead from TV and if it isn't there then it isn't anywhere. Isobel James is the only prominent name on this who is still with us.
I am of Irish heritage and yes we kept our culture . But WOKE is ruining for us also. Scots are Celts too . We are losing our culture to something that is not us . I am not racist . But WOKE forgets us .
I don’t know for certain, but I would be surprised if any existed in STV’s archive. Scotch Corner was shown at lunchtime and sometimes repeated the same day as part of “tea-time” TV. They were then most probably wiped after these transmissions.
I must have been born in the wrong generation. My contemporaries prefer Duran Duran, Boy George, Madonna, the Pet Shop Boys, or Michael Jackson, but I've always much preferred this!
This is so much better than the modern rubbish. Thankfully born in 1951 this was one of my favourite programmes as a child and later. When Andy Stewart died the true traditional Hogmanay died along with him. 🏴 😢
And now at New Year we have bands that sound Irish -screeching women singers- BBC Scotland seem to be embarrassed with this normal entertainment - the only time they show clips of this is on shows hosted by smug, talentless "comedians" - that are as funny as root canal work !

I can remember watching this as a young child with my mother.
Me too!
Great to see again our talented people... brilliant shows. Could do with some more these days to brighten up our lives!!

Ah Ian Powrie, brilliant player and a character to boot. Fond memories of him.
It was always the highlight of the week, I think I have seen every episode that there was.

What joyous television. Today's so-called entertainment TV producers would do well to watch this.
And Andy was brilliant. What a shame he died sp relatively young. X
I was ten uears old when this particular episode went out . I can remember it well.
For all these very old Scots!!
Love it I used to remember their New Year’s Eve celebrations ( till the whiskeys took over lol)this entertainment is sadly missed
I used to love this progamme
I can guarantee each of the lady dancers is wearing a paper nylon petticoat under their skirts. The memories...
The dancers of today canot even do a proper Highland Fling. This program is wonderful. Sang along with most of the songs.
I like that they film the actual dance steps, rather than focussing on plastic fake grins.
... or the audience!
Go Andy, up Scots!!
Love it
Sigh, I wish I could poussette as neatly as that, and had strong enough ankles for the Highland steps. 🙂
I never knew Lord Snowden could dance so well !!
Never underestimate a man who'll eat a sheep's stomach and wear a dress.
Do you have any editions of Scotch Corner from 1972 to 74...

Hope you're having a good time listening
Alright

Powrie and Joe gordon s lot ------------brill Could live without Stewart
And now at New Year we have bands that sound Irish -screeching women singers- BBC Scotland seem to be embarrassed with this normal entertainment - the only time they show clips of this is on shows hosted by smug, talentless "comedians" - that are as funny as root canal work !
BBC Scotland once more surrendered to their paymasters ,the shows now are fucking rubbish.
