Bothy Ballads

Post by annie1 » Tue Aug 07, 2007 3:47 pm

Hi All,

I have been trying to find out about an old Bothy Ballad called "The Bucksburn Shoppie", has anyone heard of it?
I have tired many record stores with no luck, I am begining to wonder if it is on disc, I know Bucksburn is an area in Aberdeen, hoping someone can help.
