Gutcher	Singing in Different Accents/Dialects (172* d)	RE: Singing in Different Accents/Dialects	14 Aug 13
In a current thread "The last o the tinklers" [Violet Jacobs], see Malcolm Douglas's post of 12.3.03. This being a poem by V.J. and whilst not being in too strong a Scots dialect brings out very strongly the fact that a long line of aristocratic ladies spoke and wrote the Scots Language at least down to a fairly recent period, she died in 1944, she being an Erskine of the house of Dun. Lady Nairne and Lady Jean Scott are two others that come to mind, the latter being the daughter-in-law of a Duke who had the largest landholding in these Isles, she is best remembered for having composed "Annie Laurie" and "Durisdeer"
