This small collection of early Scottish carols brings together for the first time certain items that have already appeared in print, and achieved some currency, together with some new ones. They date mainly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, celebrating the Christmas season and especially the feast of Christmas itself, and are composed (or arranged by the editor) for three and four voices.
