Grierson is a collection of retellings of traditional Scottish ballads, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology mixes adventure, folklore, and heroic tales that feature iconic figures and themes from Scottish history and culture, putting a spotlight on characters like William Wallace and Kinmont Willie. The opening portion of the work begins with the story of "The Lochmaben Harper," an old, blind harper from Lochmaben, who is presumed foolish by the locals yet has grand ambitions of stealing the English King Henry's prized brown horse. The narrative reveals his cunning nature as he cleverly executes his plan, using his old mare to lead King Henry’s horse back to Scotland while appearing merely as a simple musician. The story sets the tone for the collection, emphasizing themes of wit, trickery, and the blending of everyday life with extraordinary adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
