JOCK TAMSON - a Scottish name explained.......
The phrase more often occurs in an extended form: We're a' Jock Tamson's bairns. This is interpreted in a metaphorical sense as a statement of egalitarian sentiments equivalent to "we're all the same under the skin" or "we are all God's children".
i.e. This is music for EVERYONE !
