Subject: RE: Origin: The Verdant Braes of Skreen
In the song "Greenmount Smiling Ann", versions of which occur in many broadside collections, the Ann in the song sings Shiel's "Fair Maid of Skreen". Is this a reference to "Verdant Braes of Skreen" or is there another song about Skreen? I cannot find a link to "Fair Maid of Skreen.
