Review # 1 was written on 2021-03-15 00:00:00 Jason Laflin Finished! Hard to rate this one since it's a compilation. I think I need to go back and read the introduction but this was an experience. A lot of bafflement, interest, delight and well, Scotland. When possible, I attempted to find YouTube videos of actual Scots reciting these poems - easily done with Robert Burns - not so much with the more random poets. I found a few favorites along the way and well, I think I'll come back to them.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-21 00:00:00 ARDEN BRADEN I would be lying if I said that I have read every poem, but I have read a fair few. Reading early Scots is difficult (even for a Scot) but some of the medieval ballads are fun. Check out 'The Twa Corbies' or Jenny Nettles' holding her bairn under her oxter, good fun.
