Robert Jamieson byl skotský sběratel balad a písní, jehož zásadní dílo zachovalo mnoho ústní tradice, která by jinak zanikla. Jeho rozsáhlá sbírka tradičních balad a písní, doplněná o vlastní lyrické skladby, odhalila fascinující propojení mezi skotskými a skandinávskými legendami. Jamiesonův pečlivý výzkum a jeho schopnost nalézt spojitosti mezi různými kulturními tradicemi mu získaly uznání jeho současníků a zanechaly trvalý odkaz v oblasti shromažďování a studia lidové poezie.
