Scottish Songs
Traditional and collected songs from Scotland
Again, some of these do not have chords because I am in the process of learning them. If you have the chords or info on them, send it along and I will post it.You very well may know several of these songs, but the words you remember may differ a bit here and there. That is perfectly normal with folk songs, especially those of the Irish and Scottish sources. Most of them were transmitted orally for years, and changed a bit as they travelled. There are several songs that tie in together on one side or another of the Jacobite Rebellion.
Suggestion: If your way of playing or singing these songs is different, be sure to get together with the other bards before a bardic so no one is confused...
