Barnes and Noble is currenltly selling a paperback three-volume set of Scottish Folk Songs (words, chords, and melodies) with some historical notes in the back. They run something like $15.00 for the set. I have them and have used them extensively (e.g., Burns Night '97).
Also, the "low road" referred to in Loch Lomond is the road the spirits travel, or the fairy road, which is why the guy who is about to die says he'll be back in Scotland before his surviving true love, who has to return by the earthly "high road."
