Child Ballads - Brief Description by George Lyman Kittredge

239. Lord Saltoun and Auchanachie

There can hardly be a doubt that this is one of five ballads mentioned by Mrs. Brown in a letter of Dec. 23, 1800, and called by her 'The Lass o Philorth.' Philorth is the seat of the Frasers of Saltoun, near Fraserburg, in the extreme northeast corner of Aberdeenshire.
