McFARLANE O' THE STROATS O' BURNIEBOOZIE. Scottish, "Bothy Ballad" (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by Willie Kemp. It is the melody for a bothy ballad, or a song composed and sung by laborers at the end of the 19th century. These laborers were itinerant workers who lived for an agricultural season in small rooms, called bothies, which were sparse and bare with only the simplest of furnishings.
