Thread Name: Origins: London's Burning / Scotland's Burning
Subject: RE: London's Burning
I think it would be unlikely for anybody with a Scottish connection to have an unbroken chain of transmission for the "Scotland" version going back to the 16th century. And it would be highly unlikely for kids either side of the border to know about the invasions of the 1540s, though just maybe kids in Musselburgh learn about the Battle of Pinkie.

It would be interesting to know how they did come by it, though.
