Hi John

not Scottish, but Australian - Harry Robertson - Whale Chasing Men

This disc features 12 tracks composed and sung by Harry Robertson,a great writer and fine singer - an Australian whaler and author of "the Wee Pot Stove" sung so plaintively by Nic Jones.

and this one 'Rogue's Gallery:' Songs of the Sea has some powerful, raw shanties on it, including a powerful version of the Mingulay Boat Song sung by Richard Thompson, with drums.

For Scottish shanties, you could try Paddy Hernon's CD "By Request" because it has some scottish shanties, including "The Loch Tay Boat Song". problemo - I don't know where to get this one (have heard it's a good one) - if anyone knows a source, I'd be interested in getting a copy too.

good luck
