Alison McMorland's very welcome revised and expanded reprint of the book on the late, great, Willie Scott, shepherd, crook maker and singer.

Willie Scott's song collection portrays a long tradition that has expressed people's hardships and love stories;their humour and sadness;their sense of history and connection with the land.Willie Scott was a unique figure whose significant presence, at the time of the folk song revival, bridged the old world with the new. He was a masterly veteran tradition-bearer and ambassador of the songs and lore of the Borders as recounted in his book.
The original edition was a landmark. This enlarged publication includes an extensive introduction by Hamish Henderson; over sixty songs and poems, song notes, memories, photographs and commentary, capturing a rare glimpse into a shepherding community and a way of life now gone. Alison McMorland pays a fitting tribute to the memory of Willie Scott, Liddesdale Shepherd.
