135)   AS I WENT BY THE LUCKENBOOTHS  This is quoted from Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933), where it is called The Fair Lady. The DT file digests most of Moffat's notes on the song, though it would be worth adding the following:

"The Luckenbooths were picturesque buildings in the High Street [of Edinburgh], close to St. Giles' Church. They stood there from about 1470 to 1817 when they were cleared away."

Midi made from Moffat's notation.

1692)   I'LL HAE A PIPER  Quoted from Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933); midi made from notation in that book.

3531)   TWA CRAWS SAT ON A STANE  As noted in the DT file, example (1) appears in a slightly different form in Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933); midi made from notation in that book.
