There is a Scottish tune - I don't have the source or Bronson but from memory it was taken down by Alexander Campbell from someone surnamed Shortreed in Jedburgh, and Campbell published it in Albyn's Anthology and Bronson reproduces it. A good tune, too, in a 'stretched out' sounding 3/2. I've seen it on the net too, try the abc finder.

Please don't knock Scott, he's so frequently accused of faking and I don't believe a word of it. He was no more perfect than the rest of us but all his collating, altering and editing was freely admitted, and was no more and often far less than most singers do to ballads. I have, at any rate, been assured of this by a someone who knows Keith Harry's PhD thesis on Scott's sources. Moreover, Scott's own style is recognisably not the style of the older ballads.

Scott's politics are very unfashionable and not to my taste, but his integrity has integrity and his scholarship and local knowledge is excellent. Cunningham may be another matter, Sharpe, I have no evidence but he seems from the little I know to have been a conscientious recorder.
