A small independent concern from Scotland. Wee Roon appears to have been an outlet for the works - written and recorded - of poet and songwriter Watt Nicoll. He made a number of records for Transatlantic in the late '60s and early '70s, and then seems to have branched out on his own. Catalogue numbers, which were in the RKR-0s, suggest that he put out at least three records on Wee Roon, all of which were either EPs or singles. First off the presses was 'Hampden Roar' (RKR-1), which featured 'Doreen' in addition to Watt and was issued in 1976. There's no date on 'What Made Scotland Famous' (RKR-2), but the presence on it of a track called 'All The Way With Ally' suggests 1978. At some point after this came 'Great Again' b/w 'Swandown Girl', which was numbered RKR-3 and again has no date on the label. Each record had its own distinctive label design. Thanks to Stephen Small for bringing Wee Roon to my attention and for providing the discography and the scans.
