Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🍁 Sending love from Scotland to our Canadian cousins with a wee sing song. 'The Scarborough Settler's Lament' was written by a Scottish immigrant who was longing for his homeland. Sandy Glendinning was one of the many Scots who settled in the bold highlands east of Toronto in the 1800s. Before it became known as Scarborough, the area was originally named after the Scottish city of Glasgow.
