"Ballads of Scottish Tradition and Romance" by Frank Sidgwick is a collection of folk ballads compiled and edited in the early 20th century. The work presents a variety of traditional Scottish ballads that delve into themes of love, valor, and historical events, drawing upon the rich oral storytelling tradition of Scotland. The collection features well-known pieces such as "The Hunting of the Cheviot" and "The Battle of Otterburn," which are based on
historical incidents and characters. The opening of the collection provides context for the chosen ballads, with the author expressing gratitude to contributors for their assistance in editing and historical accuracy.
