The Corries were a Scottish folk duo known for their passionate performances and deep connection to Scottish heritage. Formed in the early 1960s, the group originally started as a trio before becoming a duo consisting of Roy Williamson and Ronnie Browne. They were renowned for their use of traditional instruments, including the combolin—an instrument invented by Williamson himself. The Corries played a key role in popularizing Scottish folk music and became cultural icons in Scotland, especially through their televised performances and enduring influence on national identity.
