| 1 - Interviews with and songs sung by Regina "Jeannie" Robertson, MBE, "acclaimed balladeer of Scotland's travelling clans." The last tape in the series, T3462, was recorded at a song swap, also featuring revival singer Isla Cameron (included here) as well as Irish singer/banjo player Margaret Barry (included in the Irish collection) and Appalachian ballad singer Jean Ritchie (included in both, depending on the context of her songs).

| 2 - Tape 3447 was presumably not recorded in early November, as the tape box reads "?30, 1953," but because the month is not known, the tape is included here. [Source: Editor] |

| :: Recording Notes :: |
| 0 - Jeannie tells a story about a simpleton who kills a factor and how his mother covers it up. (Tape cuts off before she finishes.) She also recites a lyric introduction that travellers would give before telling a story. [Source: Editor] |
