Hi, This is an example, one of many. From "Binorie" sung by William McKenzie of Kennethmont, Aberdeenshire, about 1931: 6 "It was not for your yellow gold that I dang ye in, Binorie, aye and Binorie, O, Because you're so very white, love, an' I'm so very din, You're the bonnie millert's lassie o Binorie, O." Motive: It's not the gold or the love of the bonnie miller laddie, the elder sister can't compete because her skin is 'din' and her fair sister's skin is 'white.' Richie
