Lang, in Revue Celtique, t. iii., reprinted in “Folk-Lore,” September, 1890, “Rashin Coatie” (from Morayshire). (3) Mr. Gregor, in Folk-Lore Journal, ii. 72-4 (from Aberdeenshire), “The Red Calf”—all these in Lowland Scots.

To these I would add (8, 9) Chambers’s two versions in Pop. Rhymes of Scotland, pp. 66-8, “Rashie Coat,” though Miss Cox assimilates them to Type B.
