NOTES [58 words]: Greig/Duncan4 and Roud split "Jean Chivas" from "Bell Hendry" though its first verse is close to Greig/Duncan4 728D and its fragmentary verse is close to two lines of Greig/Duncan4 728C. The name, obviously, is changed from Bell Hendry to Jean Chivas. Locations are changed respectively from Fraserburgh and Marnin Fair to Blackton and Porter Fair. - BS
