Murray	Lyr Req: Rothesay Bay (10)	RE: Rothesay Bay- words??	12 Jul 99
Thanks a lot! The odd words mean: ava - synonymous with "at a'", + at all; harst = harvest; mools [which was queried on another thread not long since]= "mould", i.e. grave dirt; aboon = above; tint = lost. Author of JH Gentleman was a Mrs. Diana Maria Craik, nee Mulock (1826-1887); she wrote the novel in 1857. [Her most famous tale was the fairy story "The Little Lame Prince", which is maybe still in print. She was as far as I know English, but managed to write this pleasant song in good Scots. Thanks again Murray
