Frances Tolmie (1840-1926) was one of the leading experts on Gaelic folklore and song, and collected a great amount of material that she thought was in danger of disappearing. By songs of occupation she means what nowadays are often called work songs. This is the most complete collection of her material, which was originally published in the Journal of the Folk-Song Society in 1911.
