Want to Know More about Robert Burns and Scottish Songs?

You may know of Burns' contribution to the six-volume The Scots Musical Museum.  This collection has been reprinted more than once since first publication!

There's now a new, authoritative edition combining the original text with new scholarly commentary.
University of Glasgow Professor Murray Pittock's edition of The Scots Musical Museum is contained in vols.2 and 3 of The Oxford Edition of the Works of Robert Burns.  (Vol.2 is the tunes, and vol.3 the commentary.)  

We've also got Donald Low's slightly older reprint, which can be borrowed by staff and students for short loan, and William Stenhouse's 1853 Illustrations of the lyric poetry and music of Scotland.

That one's in our Special Collections - because it's special!
