Set in the Scottish Lowlands countryside, the play depicts rustic life and manners through descriptive scenes inspired by the Penicuik area near Edinburgh. Possibly Scotland's first opera, it features a libretto by Ramsay with musical settings potentially influenced by Italian composer Lorenzo Bocchi, who introduced classical Italian musical style to Scotland in the 1720s.
