In the 1960s, folk music was very popular in this country. Many songs were written and sung about working in Scotland's traditional industries, including shipbuilding. Some of the songs were about working life. Others were about industrial disputes and the importance of trade unions for shipyard workers.

Verse from a song by Robin Hall and Jimmy McGregor called 'Pack Your Tools'.
