Aka Tha Mi Sgith (as recorded by Alan
Stivell, Silly Wizard, etc), and Cutting Bracken.
This tune is very
similar to the jig Drummond Castle (see
K4,28).
Ferns have always been found in abundance in the
highlands, and were used as cattle litter,
makeshift beds, and were also used to thatch
cottages. Traditionally fern-gathering was
women's work, even though it was hard, back-
breaking work.
In Victorian times, ferns were used in a
decorative way, the fronds being seen as symbols of
fertility, industry and prosperity. |
