The Muckin' o' Geordie's Byre - Andy Stewart, I think. There are hundreds of Scottish Bothy and Border ballads, in many case written by farmhands - so there's a couple of rich seams. Try to get hold of Jock Duncan's recordings of Doric (NE Scotland) bothy ballads/stories. Sorry, not sure which label, but I'm sure there's a recent CD still available. Try Greentrax? I've only one semi-suitable song here -"Pawkie Patterson" - a Hawick song about a dying farm horse moaning about the way she's been treated. Recorded by Deaf Shepherd on Synergy (Greentrax CDTRAX 143), written (or transcribed) by John Ballantine. Will format and post, if required. Good luck, Rob
