These are songs that were popular in Scotland, arranged in chronological order. I have put them in APPROXIMATE/BEST GUESS date order as best I could find at the time the file was uploaded to this site. Also, for the early ballads, the century may not be the date the tune AND words were known and the tunes and words here are modern variants of the originals.
For those particularly interested in Jacobite Songs see The Contemplator's Short History of the Jacobite Uprisings. A list of songs is at the bottom of the page). Most of the well-known Jacobite songs were written long after the uprisings, so although they are all here, they are not listed together on this page.
Broadsides and folksongs of the 17th Century
Please note these words and tunes are not authentic to the time period. These are later variants of the broadsides.
