The lyrics, which have good intent, lack a Socttish feel, as in the use of the word 'dime' in one of the songs. They are all a bit placid with no anger and suggest they are written by a modern American/Canadian whose eye is more on romantic ties with Scotland rather than an understanding of the real historical and social history of the period. I suggest a good read of John Prebble would be of great help, but don't give up song writing.
