GUEST,JeffB Euphemism & Eroticism in Scottish Gaelic (11) RE: Euphemism & Eroticism in Scottish Gaelic 10 Nov 16

Anne says that the women concealed their waulking songs from English collectors, but in fact they must have been very much their own affair. I remember that many years ago the BBC featured some recordings of Gaelic waulking songs (probably in "As I Walked Out") and they had a furious letter of complaint from a highland gentleman saying how dare they pretend that nice Scottish lasses would sing such filthy lyrics.
