Tam Lin Websites lists - articles and pages on Tam Lin other than mine. For articles and insights (as opposed to perfectly nice websites that have versions of the ballad but no other content), and because no one goes past page 3 in google search results.

The Great Website Rebuild continues. Here's what's up again or added since my last update:
