Excerpt from Travellers Tales of Scotland IN preparing the following sketches I have been much helped by the work of Professor Hume Brown, whose Early Travellers in Scotland and Scotland Before I 7 00 contain the older narratives in an admirably edited and conveniently accessible form. The article on Captain Burt first appeared in Chwmbers's Journal, and I have to thank the editor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

'Jess reveals a way of life that leaves the reader full of admiration' - Mary Horner Scottish Gypsies, known as Travellers or Tinkers, have wandered Scotland's roads and byways for centuries. Their turbulent history is captured in this passionate new book by Jess Smith, the bestselling author of Jessie's Journey and a Traveller herself. Her quest for the truth takes her on a personal journey of discovery through the tales, songs and culture of the 'pilgrims of the mist', who preferred freedom to security, and a campfire under the stars to a hearth within stone walls. The history Jess has uncovered reveals centuries of prejudice and shocking violence by settled society against Travellers, including the enforced break-up of families and separate schooling. But drawing on her own and her family's experiences as they wandered the glens and braes of Scotland, she also captures the magic and rich traditions of a life lived outside conventional boundaries.

A collection of Scottish Traveller folk tales about the Devil from “Scotland’s greatest modern-day storyteller” (The Guardian (UK)). Devil stories are always fascinating, entertaining, and disturbing. These twenty tales, re-told by one of Scotland’s master storytellers, are a fascinating insight into Traveller beliefs about evil, temptation, and suffering in which the Devil exists not to punish, but to outwit you in a contest of intelligence and knowledge. This collection is an expanded edition of Duncan Williamson’s bestselling May the Devil Walk Behind Ye!, originally published by Canongate. Praise for Jack and the Devil’s Purse “An important part of our heritage to be treasured and shared.” —Scottish Home and Country (UK) “Duncan is a first-class storyteller.” —Northern Times (UK) “Superbly handled, as you would expect from this acknowledged master of storytelling.” —The Scots Magazine (UK)

Drew Grozier presents a collection of short stories and verse, some of which were read live to air on Toowoomba radio in 2010. The collection also includes a handful of poems written by the author's sister, E. S. Munn of Dunipace, Scotland. The author makes no apology for the use of the Lallans in some of the verse herein. However, recognizing that the majority of the peoples of the Earth read only standard English, and wishing to share his stories with as wide an audience as possible, most of the included works are in the latter speak. However, his love of the old Scots tongue being equalled only by his passion for strong women, single malt whisky and the road before him, ensures that there will always be some part of his work that is forever Scotland.
