BobKnight Origins: The story behind MacPherson's Farewell (32) RE: The story behind MacPherson's Farewell 21 May 17


One of McPherson's crimes was that he was a "Gypsy" of course he wasn't a gypsy at all. He was a Scottish traveller, but that was enough to get you hung in that period of Scottish history. The clue is there in one of the verses when he refers to himself as a "rovin boy."
