Tattie Bogle Lyr Add: Baltic Street (Violet Jacob) (10) RE: Lyr Add: Baltic Street (Violet Jacob) 19 May 21


The melody is by Carole Prior, (first name and surname both mis-spelled in an earlier thread on this!)and she sings it with her husband, Alan: 2 very fine singers, who live less than half a mile from us.
Also good versions by Sylvia Barnes, and Duncan McCrone.
Here is Sylvia's: Baltic Street/Sylvia Barnes

Montrose is very close to "The House of Dun" - now managed by the National Trust for Scotland - where Violet Jacob lived.

There are "Baltic Streets" in a number of Scottish and other ports, reflecting the trade that went on with the Baltic states - the Hanseatic League.
