The Scottish songs of Robert Burns

Finally, a pratical and singable edition of some forty of Robert Burns's finest Scottish songs, spanning all his song-writing and collecting years.

Although most of these songs were originally published by Burns more than 200 years ago, many were actually older, already existing Scottish folksongs, which he re-wrote in his inimitable style.

This collection is primarily aimed ar today's singers, who will find the songs as relevant, poetic, and full of warmth as previous generations did.
