There are nearly 2 dozen versions of "The Bonnie Lass o' Fyvie, O" in Vol. 1 (#84), 1981 (see Mercat Press) of the Greig-Duncan collection. They missed an Irish version in Peter Buchan's (Scots) MSS in BL. (Finding anything that Emily Lyle missed is a great rarity. There's never been a better annotator of a Scots folk song collection.)
