JOLLY PLOOMAN LADS
BOTHY BALLADS OF LOWLAND SCOTLAND
| The bothies were the farm residences, mostly
no more than rough huts, accommodating the plough lads in Aberdeenshire
and other Lowland Scots regions of the North East. In many cases they would
only stay with a farmer for perhaps a year before attending the next hiring
fair where they hoped to be auctioned to a better farm place. So these ballads
contain the good and the bad of life in the bothies, complaints or praise
for the place and the people. Here they are - sung by some of the greatest
Lowland Scots singers. |
