I am perplexed by these references: TradIre01, MMacArthur01, LOlder01 (and others) within the article. What are these supposed to represent? As far as I can make out they are not record labels, and not serial numbers of records, so what are they? Ogg 11:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

"The first documented printing was in Tea Table Miscellany (1740). Lady Casslilles Lilt (aka Johnny Faa, the Gypsiey Laddie) is in the Skene Manuscripts which holds documents from the 17th century." I don't know the meaning of the phrase "documented printing". The book still exists, so it's not a documented printing. A better rendition would be like this: The earliest manuscript version was in the Skene manuscript (17th century), referred to as Lady Casslilles Lilt (aka Johnny Faa, the Gypsiey Laddie). The earliest known printed version is in Tea Table Miscellany (1740). Ogg 11:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

"Although the earliest version seem to be Scottish, several versions are found in the USA." The author of this sentence appears to be implying that if something is found in Scotland, it's unusual to find it in the USA. It would be better so write simply "Several versions have also been found in the USA." Ogg 11:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
