"Willie Scott still reigns supreme and it is thrilling to hear him as recorded in his prime in 1953 and 1973, in The Keilder Hunt, The Shepherd's Song and The Whisky's Guid. But there was scarcely a track that did not warm the heart. John Nichol is particularly outstanding for a rombustious Lachie McCraw and Pawkie Paiterson, in which the Borders "mei" is heard, and the songs of James Hogg. Elsa Lemaitre and Pat Douglas singing The Wail of Flodden reawaken the pain of the dark memory of old sorrows and bereaved mothers and wives". ..From a review by Shiela Douglas in The Living Tradition Magazine
