This book is from the time of the great pan-European enthusiasm for things Scottish, and for the poems of Ossian.

In 2012 Lars Hedelius-Strikkertsen (guitar) and Katrine Dyrehauge Roos (soprano) recorded “O my love’s like the red rose” from this book and you can hear them here with the simple and charming guitar accompaniment:
