Willie Scott

About the artist

Willie Scott was born in 1897 near Canobie in Dumfriesshire in the south of Scotland. He left school at 11 to work on a farm at Stobs near Hawick. His adult life was spent as a shepherd at various farms in the high hills of the Scottish Borders. Willie sang at social gatherings, Shepherds suppers and the like. He picked his songs up from a multitude of sources, and continued to add songs he liked to his repertoire right up to his death. Many of his songs however were learned from his mother and father.
