A story rooted in history
The exact story of Whuppity Stoorie was first published in 1826 by Robert Chambers. He collected folklore tales for his landmark book "Popular Rhyms of Scotland". The story was not invented by Chambers, it is an ancient piece of folklore with deep and enduring history.
For me it was a favourite bedtime story, lovingly told bt Nana during childhood sleepovers, making the retelling a point if great nostalgia and love.
