The Corries were a Scottish folk group that emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group was a trio in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson and Ronnie Browne that it is best known.

The early 1970s saw the Corries reach their peak of popularity. They had several albums in the top 50 album charts in Scotland, and released a single: - \"Flower of Scotland\" (1974). It includes Flower of Scotland and Roses of Prince Charlie. It was quickly adopted by world lightweight boxing champion Ken Buchanan whose fans sang it on his entering the ring. It was then taken up by supporters of rugby football as the unofficial national anthem and is still used at Scotland\'s rugby internationals. It has also been adopted as the national anthem at international football matches. The Corries\' concerts frequently had the audience joining in spontaneously in the chorus of songs. The duo became closely identified with Jacobite songs, celebrating the final years of clan loyalty and military courage. In 1977, one of their best albums Peat Fire Flame was released. This saw a move towards love songs and celebrations of the landscape.

As a young man, Roy Williamson played rugby for Edinburgh Wanderers. However, he suffered from asthma and before a series of concerts he would deliberately cease treatment in order to provoke attacks and gain temporary immunity. During the Corries\' 1989 tour, Williamson\'s health went into decline and he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He spent his last years living in Forres, close to where he spent his school years. He died on 12 August 1990.

Ronnie Browne continued recording and moved into acting, as well as expanding his career as a noted painter, including commissions for the 1990 Scottish Rugby team\'s Grand Slam victory. He toured as a soloist for a few years after Williamson\'s death, and even released a solo album, but never reached the same level of success that he achieved as part of the duo. He has now retired from performing.
Paddie Bell made some solo albums following her departure from the trio, most notably with Irish musicians Finbar and Eddie Furey, but withdrew from the folk scene followed by a period of dependency on alcohol and anti-depressant medication. In the 1990s Bell, with the help of several friends and fans on the folk scene in Edinburgh, revived her singing career with a couple of new recordings and became something of a celebrity again. She died in 2005 aged 74.

In December 2007, The Corries were inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame at the Scottish Trad Music Awards in Fort William, promoted by concertina virtuoso Simon Thoumire\'s Hands Up for Trad organisation.
