Geàrr-chunntas - The song is about a young girl who likes to walk in the bonny parks of Kelty. Her mother hints that she might meet the young laird and she dresses with care. She meets the young laird, they walk together, and he seduces her. He asks what she will tell her mother; just as she is going to reply her angry father appears and demands the laird marry his daughter or pay for his misdeed. The young laird says he will marry the girl and they live happily.
