Robert Jamieson fut un antiquaire et collectionneur de ballades écossais dont le travail assidu préserva une grande partie de la tradition orale qui, autrement, aurait été perdue. Sa vaste collection de ballades et chansons traditionnelles, enrichie de ses propres compositions lyriques, révéla des liens fascinants entre les légendes écossaises et scandinaves. La recherche méticuleuse de Jamieson et son habileté à découvrir des connexions entre diverses traditions culturelles lui valurent l'estime de ses contemporains et laissèrent un héritage durable dans le domaine de la collecte et de l'étude du folklore.
