The esteemed Scottish soprano, Isobel (Isabella) Baillie, was the youngest child of a Hawick master baker and his wife. She was a typical “Scottish lass,” with red hair and a fair complexion. Showing early musical talent, she had singing lessons from the age of nine and won a scholarship to the High School in Manchester, where her family had settled. In Manchester she was a pupil of Sadler Fogg. Isobel Baillie gave her first performance of the Messiah at the age of 15. <a href="https://www.last
