Child Ballad

Описание: Was inspired to record this after watching the brilliant Netflix movie about Robert the Bruce (Outlaw/King).

The Corries only do a few of the 35 verses of this song:
   • LAMMAS TIDE  THE CORRIES  

Here is Raymond Crooke's version of the full ballad:
   • 2185. The Battle of Otterburn (Child #161)...

Daniel Nedrud's recent post on the ballad (and battle):

The Clan Douglas motto is Jamais arrière (Never behind).

The Douglas in this song, is the son of the nephew of the 'Black Douglas' who fought alongside Robert the Bruce.
