MacColl has Scallater. Sileas appear to have recorded a shortened arrangement of the set he collated from two sources: William Miller of Stirling and Samuel Wylie of Falkirk. This included three verses not in Child, of which one appears in the above text (stanza 11). The only other example currently listed in the Roud Folk Song Index is one from Jimmy McBeath, which I don't think I've heard; Alan Lomax recorded him in 1951 and Peter Kennedy in 1953.

"Sonsie" in this context can mean "plump, buxom"; "comely"; "cheerful, jolly, pleasant". It may be that Sileas have made alterations of their own, or it may derive from the McBeath set. Does anyone have that?

Although there's a little overlap with Rob Roy, I wouldn't go so far as to say that this ballad is based on the same event. Marriage by abduction was not uncommon in the Highlands of Scotland at one time.
