lock the door lariston

James Hogg the Ettrick Shepherd wrote the poem Lock the Door Lariston in the early !800s. The poem is a homage to the Border Ballads, and echos the intensity and magic of that writing

Long time since I heard this and then it was a Corries song way back in time. But love the language and the combinations of images

Will need to look it up

Heard the Corrie's version in the 1980s. As an Elliott I was greatly moved.

A wee correction for you. Its Brechin tower not breaken tower.
A Brechin tower is the Scots version of the Irish Round tower of which the two examples at Brechin and Abernethy are the best known.
