Outs and Ins, A New Song

Identifier

Description

This political song in the Aberdeen dialect, pokes fun at the outgoing town council. Corruption was rife - many instances are humorously referred to here. For example, the writer refers to the fiasco of the new harbour in verse 2, and is delighted that there is to be an election for new burgh magistrates.
