Caller Herrin

Caller Herrin' is a Scottish song concerning herring fishing in the Firth of Forth.  The words on the card read:

"Buy my Caller Herrin'

They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';

Buy my Caller Herrin'

Now drawn frae the Firth."

This is one of two songs:

-  Caller Herrin' (or Caller Haddies = Fresh Herring) and

-  Caller Ou' (= Fresh Oysters)

that was featured on early cartes de visite by James Ross of Edinburgh
