boatie

"I'll mind the boatie then, 'til ye all come back."

Cady, a local boatie who is having an affair with Kate, catches Janey's pubescent eye.

John Ewen (1741-1821), is credited with the authorship of the well-known Scotch song, '0 weel may the boatie row'.

O weel may the boatie row' was published anonymously in Johnson's 'Scots Musical Museum.'

We can send Innes back wi' John's boatie, and he can take a message to Fergus to come and join us.
