an old melodion before he went into the army and took it when stationed
in the borders, but sold it. Bought another one much, much later.
Just taught himself, picking up tunes from records. The cobbler
at Nethermuir sold records and bikes. He would play you the record,
so you would want to buy it.

T: The Dying Ploughboy/ The Dying Plougboy/ ????/
????/ Miss Macleod
S: Moothie tunes, the first played at two tempos.
There were always two versions of The Dying Plougboy. Describes
the background to the Dying Ploughboy: Woman at Boyndlie courted
by lad at Bonnyton Farm near New Aberdour. When walking back home,
the man got a fright and had strained his heart. GE will not name
names. Rev. Calder from Glenlivet composed the song. This took place
maybe at the turn of the century. The man's son just died recently.
