Dear Robert,
Further to this thread (and thanks for your help), it may be that the 
McBing version has an Irish twist.
They're good at that. I know, I'm from old Irish stock (notwithstanding 
the Haesler name given to me by my step-father).
My wife is a born-Scot, and yes, we have been to Tobermorey on Mull.
Chris Tyle's link for what is probably the Bing song gives the 
following composer credit:
"Tobermory Bay" 1953 Lyrics and music by: Johnny Reine, Kenneth 
North & Jimmy Harper.
I have asked my mate to check his MCA LP to see if it has Irish or 
Scots influenced lyrics.
OKOM content?
Bing had a lot of jazzmates.
Kind regards,
Bill.
