Folksongs

Scottish Folksongs - Bonnie Dundee. If you'd like to read about him Rosemary Sutcliff's book, Bonnie Dundee, paints a more positive picture than the Douglas Bond Crown & Covenant series.
The poem by Sir Walter Scott can be found here:

Irish Folksongs - if you've grown up in Ireland or Scotland you'd get this song. Here's a link to Orange & Green by G.A. Henty, a book which will give you some background to the Catholic/Protestant issue that even I can remember from my childhood in Scotland.

Home


   
I’ve been a wife for 25 years and a mother for 24 of those years. Our 3 older children have graduated from home education & got into university without going through the school system, two of them are now in full-time work and I continue to homeschool our four younger children. My heart is to encourage other mothers – homeschoolers or otherwise - to invest in their children spiritually and educationally and to grow in their own.
