Author of the poem Dae Ye Mind

Eric Duffner would like to know who the author of the poem Dae Ye Mind is.

A colleague of his discovered it on the wall of the Whiski Bar and Restaurant on the High Street. Its first two verses read:

"Dae ye mind the castle standin' proud, guardin' a'thing in its' sight. Dae ye mind the gun at one o'clock, oh michty' whit a fright!

"Dae ye mind the trams on Princes Street, and the Bonnie Floral clock. Dae ye mind the market at Cannongate whaur hoards o' folk wid flock."
