Robert Jamieson fu un antiquario e raccoglitore di ballate scozzese il cui diligente lavoro preservò gran parte della tradizione orale che altrimenti si sarebbe persa. La sua vasta collezione di ballate e canzoni tradizionali, arricchita dalle sue stesse composizioni liriche, rivelò affascinanti connessioni tra leggende scozzesi e scandinave. La meticolosa ricerca di Jamieson e la sua abilità nello scoprire legami tra diverse tradizioni culturali gli valsero la stima dei suoi contemporanei e lasciarono un'eredità duratura nel campo della raccolta e dello studio del folklore.
