GUEST,ottery Origins: 1885 long Burning Of Auchindoun (9) RE: Origins: 1885 long Burning Of Auchindoun 22 Apr 21

When I saw those two verses, I thought they were most likely an insertion. I can't think of any other ballads that use such specific demonyms, only v. simple ones like "the Scots", "the Irish" etc.

Great song btw. I think I first heard it from Siobhan Miller and Jeana Leslie. The two verse version does leave you wanting to know more, a bit like Whummil Bore.
