The Queen of Scotland

The Queen of Scotland (Child ballad 301, Roud number 3878) is a folk song.

Synopsis

The Queen of Scotland tries to lure Troy Muir to her bed. When she fails, she directs him to lift a stone in her garden, and a hungry snake emerges. A woman cut off her breast to appease the beast, and the wound healed within an hour. Troy marries her. Nine months later, she bears a son, and her breast was restored.

gollark: <@151391317740486657> It's not the only bad thing. phones are also nigh impossible to repair and more expensive (per computing power unit or whatever) than a desktop/laptop.
gollark: Hmm, good idea.
gollark: That would obviously be bad for power users, but most people... aren't that, annoyingly.
gollark: My entirely unsubstantiated guess about the next decade's computing trends: phone dock things will begin to replace personal laptops/desktops for many people.
gollark: GNU/Linux meaning "desktop Linux", basically, but... sure?
