Tam Reid

About the artist

Tam Reid was the Aberdeenshire folk singer whose contribution to the traditional culture of north-east Scotland earned praise from academics and musicians alike. He gained the crown of Bothy Ballad King 30 years ago when Methlick farmer and broadcaster Charlie Allan and musician Marc Ellington, of Towie Barclay castle, staged a contest for the title. The event attracted two dozen competitors and an audience of 10,000 at the Turriff venue. Reid was outright winner.
