The "lost" ballads from the Glenbuchat manuscript were published last year jointly by the University of Mississippi and the Elphinstone Institute, edited by the late David Buchan and James Moreira. See this Press Release for more information about the publication.
A small snippet of the ballads in performance can be heard on BBC Scotland, from a news item about a concert in Glenbuchat itself featuring the ballads.
