1 - Alan Lomax: "Hamish says most of these songs have still some amount of oral currency - however all have a certain amount of literary influence - all have been pivotal in various forms in some of these books: Hogg's 'Jacobite Relics,' Scott's 'Minstrelsy of the Scots Border,' Povey's 'Reliques.' " [Source: Tape box]
