Scotch Corner was an immediate success, showing that Andy Stewart’s high standard of Scottish entertainment was as popular in England, Ireland and Wales as in his native Scotland.
Andy Stewart began to distance himself from show business after 1974 as recurrent ill health took its toll on his voice and vitality.
Frequently hospitalised in the 1970s and 1980s, he underwent several heart and stomach operations, including triple heart bypass surgery in 1976 and again in 1991.
He suffered a fatal heart attack at his home on 11 October 1993, aged 59.
