This is the late Lizzie Angus, who was 106 when Ian MacKenzie took this shot of her and Dr Kath Campbell, in Ellon, in 2000. This fieldwork trip was related to the #GreigDuncan song collection. Lizzie had personal recollections of Gavin Greig, who was her teacher. #IWD19 #SA2000
In our A-Z this week it's 'Strichen's Plantins' which could refer to the Plantago genus of flowering plants, or small 'plantations' of woodland. Sung by Charlie Reid, and as Hamish Henderson observes - 'A really lovely song'. https://t.co/y2A5IEAP7G #folksongfriday
