Abstract

Two ballads are presented here. The first tells the tale of young woman who is stolen away from her home in Dundee by a Highland lord. He takes her away to be his bride, but she refuses to have him. She manages to get a letter to her love, John Hay, who comes and rescues her from the Highlanders. The second song is the lament of two widows of martyrs as they mourn the loss of their husbands and Scotland’s loss of two covenanters.
