It's _The People's Past: Scottish Folk, Scottish History_, done
by Polygon about 1980, then reprinted in 1990 or 91. Great stuff
in it,
Because there's more to it than songs and tunes, it would be worth having a
look at:
Francis Collinson. The Traditional and National Music of Scotland.
George Emmerson. Rantin Pipe and Tremblin String
George Emmerson. A Celestial Recreation: a social history of Scottish

Dominique asks,
Which recordings and books (tutors, tunebooks...) would you consider as
essential for a newcomer to Scots music?
I suggest Andrew Hunter's 'La musique ecossaise - pour comprendre tout un
courant de la musique celtique' published by COOP Breizh in 1998
