2 unusual facts about Into the Valley


Into the Valley

Local legend still persists that the valley mentioned is a reference to the village of High Valleyfield, known locally as "the Valley", a village with a reputation for "mini warfare" between its own residents and those of nearby towns and villages (namely Torryburn, Rosyth, Oakley and Inverkeithing), near Skids' home town of Dunfermline.

In 2012 the song was used in a television advertising campaign by the cycle and motoring accessory retailer Halfords.
