Thanks for that link Willa - there's some fine broadsides there in the Murray Collection (when you eventually find it).It used to be thought that there were few scottish broadside ballads printed because the english newspaper tax,which put newspapers beyond the reach of the poor,didnt apply in scotland,so the broadsides werent as sought after for news.Obviously not true. |
