Anent drawing by wild horses. This appears in a ballad "The Lord Of Morton" The verse being:-- Gar fetch tae me those twa wild staigs Whilk gang on Oxenshaw That ere I either eat or drink I will his body draw. A staig was a young unbroken horse. The Lord of Morton was A Douglas. A young lady, a graduate of the traditional music course in Glasgow, has, I understand, done a rewrite of this old ballad. Pupils of the said course being encouraged to rewright tunes, songs and ballads in order to lay a claim for copyright on their new productions, not a practice to be encouraged, as anyone comparing the new with the old, I am sure, will agree.
