about

This is a well-known song in the Scottish folk tradition and it’s a melody that has stayed with me since I first heard it. The words are almost always attributed to Robert Burns, although he did not claim it as his own. It seems likely that Burns in fact adapted an older poem, as elements of it appear in earlier published works where Burns is not credited as the author. The song, first printed in the early 1790s, fiercely protests against the Union of the Crowns between Scotland and England in 1707, calling out the thirty or so ruling-class Scots who are said to have sold the nation out ‘for English gold’. It regained popularity in the 20th century with recordings by - among many others - Ewan MacColl and Dick Gaughan. Over two hundred years on, the indignation at the abuse of power expressed in the song still chimes with many Scots.
