Summary
Hamish Henderson and Charles Reid discuss a poem by Mr Reid. Mr Reid reads the last verse, in which he draws on his grandmother's image of the hillside black with people coming from church with their Sabbath books. The dog Jock will recall this, and the people going home to their cooling broth and 'Stracathro'. These people are now long dead.
Mr Reid comments that the only rakish thing about the people was the headstones.
Item Notes
'Stracathro' is a psalm tune.
