Note 13 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
A learned folklorist of my acquaintance hereby identifies Alan’s air. It has been printed (it seems) in Campbell’s “Tales of the West Highlands,” vol. ii., p. 91. Upon examination it would really seem as if Miss Grant’s unrhymed doggerel (see Chapter v.) would fit, with a little humouring, to the notes in question.—R. L. S.
