Child Ballads - Additions and Corrections

182. The Laird o Logie

P. 449. 'Young Logie' is among the ballads taken down by Mrs. Murison in Aberdeenshire, p. 88 of the collection. The copy is imperfect, and extremely corrupted. Lady Margaret is the daughter of the king (who is not called by that name), but is confused with her mother, who counterfeits her consort's han-write and steals his right-han glove, as is done in D. Three ships at the pier of Leith, and three again at Queen's Ferry.
