Kirkconnel Lea - Also known as Helen of Kirkconnel, Fair Helen and (I Wish I Were) Where Helen Lies. This well known Scottish ballad is about the tragic death in the 16th Century, of Helen Irving who, intervening in a quarrel between two rival admirers receives a fatal wound as a result. The air itself is believed to be much older.

The Fower Maries - This ballad, also known as The Four Marys, Mary Hamilton and The Queen’s Marys, dates from the 18th Century and is believed to be a hybrid of two stories - one taking place at the court of Mary Queen of Scots and the other at the court of Peter The Great, Tsar of Russia - both concerning a handmaiden who was executed for the murder of her illegitimate child.

Sound The Pibroch - This is a traditional Jacobite song to which words were added by Mrs Norman MacLeod, senior, in the 19th Century.
