Thread Name: Folklore: All Dressed In Yellow?
Subject: a question for folklorists
Watching BBC Alba[Gaelic] yesterday evening a group called "Fiddlers Bid" from Shetland mentioned that one of their CDs was called "All Dressed In Yellow".
My question is this, is there any significance in a lass being dressed in yellow or was it simply the fact that yellow was an easy colour to produce from vegetable matter?.
