Mrs Jessie Davidson nee Duncan of Willow Cottage, Tugnet, Spey Bay, gave Carpenter several songs, but so far I have found in the Vaughan Williams Archive only a recording of several songs and a transcript of one, see The Laird O Drum.

She was born in Dufftown 17/9/1863, died Nether Dallachie, Bellie 4/2/1959.

'She also played the button box quite well my late father Duncan McBeath told me. In the group to her right is her husband James Davidson and on her left her daughter Ella, I think this was outside Willow Cottage? I imagine it would be.'
Information from Moira McBeath [Mo Renwick]. Mo's sister Kate Cameron also helped .

Here are two screengrabs from the Sheffield University Carpenter archive, showing what songs she gave Carpenter
