  <dc:title>Letter: Bell Robertson, 7 High Street, New Pitsligo to James Bruce Duncan</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Gives versions of and comments on : 'The lover set free', 'Germany', 'Laird o' Drum', 'Maiden soldier', 'Young Bekie', 'Laird o' Skene', 'Lawyer's bonny Peggy', 'Banks o' the Nile', 'Horse's lament', 'The Beggin'; speaks indignantly of the tendency of collectors such as R. Ford to classify early ballads as 'coarse' and as of the 'bothy' type; bothy ballads were of a different and later origin.</dc:description>
