If that's right, Auldtimer, then it would confirm that this was part of the renaissance/baroque fashion for English people to write "Scotch" songs. Auldtimer, are you a Scots speaker yourself? Not being one, could I ask if it's also possible that Scots has changed over the years (as languages do) or, in your view, is this just an obvious case of an English "Scotch" song?
