Thanks for the ref., Jack.

For those who, like me, can sometimes enjoy that light-opera style, McKellar is one of the greats.

I can also recommend Morrison's and St. Clair's tracks in a similar vein. For a style that Nairne, Dun, and Rainforth might have appreciated, try Jeni Montrose with Geoffrey Duce on piano ("Traditional Scottish Songs"). Nor should you overlook the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on "Bagpipe Rock!"(It even sounds good slowed way down, as on by Cal Scott on "Scotland's Lighthouses.")

Amazon lists well over 100 available recordings.

Jean Redpath released an entire album of Lady Nairne's songs some years ago.

(Kerr's "Merry Melodies" was pub'd in Glasgow, not Edinburgh as I erroneously wrote.)
