<p>Research-led UK and Ireland listening expansion; preserve existing recordings, native bindings and unrelated live data.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Summary ==<br /> <br /> Scots song follows ballads, lyrical songs and related traditional singing in Scots and closely connected Scottish English repertoires. Text, regional dialect and manner of delivery matter; it is not a label for every song by a Scottish artist.<br /> <br /> == Contemporary and trending ==<br /> <br /> Current recordings and concert performances keep this repertoire in circulation. The listening collection includes recent and worthwhile earlier versions, with performer and version credits retained; it does not treat an upload date as a composition date. Jean Redpath, Dick Gaughan, Robyn Stapleton, Iona Fyfe and Alasdair Roberts offer different repertoire and interpretive approaches.&lt;ref&gt;[https://tradmusicmap.scot/borders/ Traditional Music and Song Association: Scottish Borders].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> Oral transmission, printed collections, working and domestic life, revival singers and archives have all shaped the repertoire. Borders ballads and northeast song traditions are important, distinct strands.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.thetraditionbearers.co.uk/listen/ The Tradition Bearers: listening archive].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Musical characteristics ==<br /> <br /> Narrative pacing, memorable melodic lines, dialect and the treatment of repeated verses shape performance. Unaccompanied singing and acoustic arrangements both occur, with different singers choosing different degrees of ornament and rhythmic freedom.<br /> <br /> == Geography and communities ==<br /> <br /> Northeast Scotland, the Lowlands and the Borders have particularly strong connections, while concerts, clubs, archives and teaching carry songs throughout Scotland. Scottish Gaelic singing is represented separately.&lt;ref&gt;[https://tradmusicmap.scot/borders/ Traditional Music and Song Association: Scottish Borders].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Artists ==<br /> <br /> Jean Redpath, Dick Gaughan, Robyn Stapleton, Iona Fyfe and Alasdair Roberts offer different repertoire and interpretive approaches.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Recording entrances ===<br /> <br /> Jean Redpath — Jean Redpath sings Three Scottish Songs&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z97eYzFuvDI Jean Redpath sings Three Scottish Songs] — primary release/performance credits.&lt;/ref&gt;; Robyn Stapleton — Robyn Stapleton performs My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose live at The Tolbooth (The Visit 2017)&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1t2OY_9DIQ Robyn Stapleton performs My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose live at The Tolbooth (The Visit 2017)] — primary release/performance credits.&lt;/ref&gt;.
