This Scottish song is not actually a chantey but it is included because of it was composed by a whalerman-poet, George Scroggie of New Deer in Buchan (Scotland). He went whaling in the Arctic in the 1850s and was later a farmer and a miller. His lyrics (reprinted from Gavin Greig, Folk-Song of the North-East, (1914) are sung to the traditional English air "Blow Ye Winds Westerly". The melody seems to be related to the "Wagoner's Lad" family of tunes. Tarwathie is in Aberdeenshire, northwest of the whaling port of Peterhead. It was recorded by Ewan MacColl and A.L. Lloyd on Thar She Blows! (1956), A.L. Lloyd on Leviathan! Ballads & Songs of the Whaling Trade (1967), Danny Spooner on A Wench, a Whale and a Pint of Good Ale, Judy Collins (accompanied by humpback whales) on Whales and Nightingales (1970) and Colors of the Day (1972) and Ewan MacColl on As We Were A-Sailing (1971). It appears in the Roud Folksong Collection as #2562. It was printed in Greig's Folk-Song in Buchan and Folk-Song of the North-East (1963), Greig's The Greig-Duncan Folk Song Collection, Volume 1 (1981), Frank's Sea Chanteys and Sailors' Songs (2000).
