The darlin' old stick.
Wilson, John.
[Glasgow? : s.n.,
1859]
The darlin' old stick - first lines read: My name is bold Morgan M'Carthy, from Trim.
Loch Katrine water - first lines read: The brave highland chieftains went forth heart and hand.
In two columns.
Two ballads.
Signed at the foot of the sheet -'By John Wilson, ballad-singer, to Her Majesty'.
Dated from internal evidence - The Loch Katrine water supply system took three and half years to complete and involved the construction of a dam on the loch, 26 miles of aqueduct, a similar length of trunk mains, 46 miles of distribution pipes and the Mugdock storage reservoir at Milngavie. Queen Victoria herself officially opened the scheme - seen as the engineering marvel of its day - on 14 October 1859.
