Paperback. Zustand: New. THE BOOK: "Recollections of an Argyllshire Drover" and Other West Highland Chronicles Eric Cregeen's groundbreaking research into the Argyll Estate Papers and into the oral tradition of the Scottish West Highlands are at the heart of this collection. During his appointment at the University of Edinburgh's School of Scottish Studies, Cregeen tape-recorded tradition bearers in both Gaelic and English, gathering information that is today priceless, such as the descriptions of the last Argyll drover. He was a founding member of the Scottish Oral History movement, but his tragically early death in 1983 robbed Scotland of a great scholar, social historian and folklorist and of other proposed books. This collection, selected and edited by Dr Margaret Bennett, will be welcomed by a wide range of readers, especially those who share Cregeen's enthusiasm for 'approaching the history of the Highlands with a mind alert to the claims of oral tradition.' The book begins with a masterful introductory essay by the editor and also includes a comprehensive bibliography of Cregeen's work.This edition brings invaluable and beautifully written material to a new generation keen to reconnect with Scotland's Highland history and tradition.

Paperback. Zustand: New. ROBERT MACLEOD: An Anthology by Arthur NevayArthur Nevay has collected over 120 compositions by former Cowdenbeath miner, Robert MacLeod (1876-1958), who became an entertainer after a mining accident ended his career.He wrote for music-hall performances at the Cowdenbeath Tivoli and sang round pubs and clubs, selling broadsheets to earn money, and to help soup kitchens, disaster funds, war wounded and other needy causes. MacLeod lived through two World Wars, the 1926 Strike, the Great Depression, eight decades of colliery disasters, and he wrote 'lest we forget'. He also raised the spirit of the community, with his droll, witty, 'one-liners' that made folk laugh. His work inspired the late John Watt, whose songs such as 'Fife's Got Everything' and ' the Kelty Clippie' share MacLeod's irreverent wit. Among Arthur's papers is a letter from John stating that 'lines like these should not be forgotten. This collection of Robert MacLeod's poems, songs and other creative work would have all but vanished were it not for the dedication and devotion of one person: Arthur Nevay, of Glencraig, Fife.We owe him a huge debt of gratitude, which, as far as 95-year-old Arthur is concerned, has already been repaid by the pleasure it brought to him, knowing that theme and work of Robert MacLeod will not be forgotten, and folk far and wide may enjoy his legacy.
