Child Ballads - Brief Description by George Lyman Kittredge

191. Hughie Grame

Scott's copy in the Minstrelsy (1803, in, 85) is from C*, a version procured for him by William Laidlaw, with the insertion of some stanzas from Ritson's Ancient Songs. Ritson's version is A a, collated with another copy. Scott conjectures that Hugh Graham may have been one of more than four hundred borderers against whom complaints were exhibited to the Lord Bishop of Carlisle in 1548.
