Hi, srich-
When you say "A beautiful love song from the singing of Belle Stewart," you confuse me - and your first post confused me, too. Was Belle Stewart the source for the lyrics in Folksongs from the Highlands, or have you ever heard Belle Stewart use "weel faurt maid" in a performance or recording?
Oh, and I note that Folksongs from the Highlands was edited by yet another Stewart. I was tempted to buy a copy, but I see that it's only 45 pages and costs $33 to $175 used (shipped from the UK).
