What a strange piece of revisionist history
So many of us being fooled for so long
The "myth2 you described fooled the best of Scotland's intellectuals and poets and, as it was largely based on what was still being drawn from the remnants of living traditions, large numbers of traditional singers from both the settled and Traveller communities
I suggest you read and listen to what people like Sheila Stert and her like had to say and write - 'Scottish Studies' might be a good place to start
Utter nonsense on most counts there Ake - the best yet, in my experience
