Waulking songs

Margaret Maclnnes , and Kitty MacLeod
Introduced by 1. MacIver
Produced by Hugh Macphee
The last process in the making of Harris tweed-one of the oldest native industries of the Highlands-after the cloth has been taken from the loom is that of shrinking, which is known to the makers as 'waulking'. The workers lighten their labours by the rhythmic beat of a waulking song, and the texture of the cloth is usually measured by the number of songs that go to its making.

The owner of the cotton plantation prefers drinking his mint julep on the verandah to supervising the work. What an opportunity for his overseer to play the villain!
