Ballads and Laments
Kirsteen McCue presents a celebration of Scotland's most famous laments and ballads, including The Dowie Dens o Yarrow, Flooers o' the Forest and Ae Fond Kiss.
This week, the musician and academic Kirsteen McCue celebrates Scotland's rich heritage of musical laments and ballads with a collection of programmes from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Scotland archive.
Among the beautiful programmes she'll revisit are an examination of the history behind songs such as The Dowie Dens O Yarrow, Flooers O' The Forest and Ae Fond Kiss.
There's also a fascinating programme on Bob Dylan's passion for Scottish, English and Irisih folk music.
Plus we take a trip back in time to discover the lovesongs and laments of the Scottish Middle Ages.
