Talk:The Hundred Pipers

Parochial apostrophes
As the modern tendency in written Scots appears to deprecate apostrophes, essentially for being an expression of chauvinism, should they be removed from the lyrics here? A bit of a glossary in the form of footnotes might be useful anyway, and the first occurrences of an a and so on could be included.—Odysseus 1 4 7  9  03:47, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Compare the opening of the main section of Boildieu's overture to "la Dame Blanche" with the part of the tune which announces the hundred pipera - Lady Nairne would have known it, though I don't think she wrote the tune as well.Delahays (talk) 11:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
