Hi Folks,

I know a few shanties but most of them are English in origin it seems. Does anyone know of any shanties which are Scottish in origin.

Were shanties used only on Military Navy ships or were they also used by Merchant Ships? If they were on Merchant Ships then I would expect to find some Scottish Shanties, but so far I've had little success.

There are plenty of Scottish Sea Songs, often about Whaling and Fishing, but what I'm after are the work songs (call and reply).

Can anyone help please?
