This page requires references. As much as I adore the song, rationally I cannot allow this page to be maintained unless it becomes appropriately referenced. Furthermore, Trevek: it is not appropriate to remove a POV dispute notice. 121.215.69.121 (talk) 13:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't see how we can quote the full lyrics here, given that (unlike the melody) they must surely still be in copyright. On another note, the John MacLeod link just goes to a disambiguation page, and none of the people there seem to be the right one. 86.136.250.218 (talk) 01:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Anyone knows why "Tyrol"? If this Tyrol is the one referenced (i.e. in the Alps), how could a Scottish soldier find himself there? 79.16.133.65 (talk) 23:50, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
According to this page the tune was used by a Regimental piper who served in the Crimea. Perhaps there was a connection with British troops travelling through Tyrol at the time. Also, the tune is based on a traditional European tune, so perhaps it was the original title. : http://kilby.sac.on.ca/activitiesclubs/cadets/piping/GreenHillsofTyrol.htm (79.190.69.142 (talk) 12:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC))
In the 16th century there were a number of Scottish mercenaries operating in Europe. This article tells of their descendants: https://www.thelocal.it/20160302/gurro-italys-little-scotland-colonized-by-highland-warriors/ and https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9780748632046-013/pdf (46.205.128.138 (talk) 20:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC))
