About the Book

Donald has used the obvious books on Scottish Travellers but has also sought out original documents and sources which he, as an eminent historian, was aware of. This pulling-together of the outline history of Scotland's Travellers, brings back the first proven date for Gypsies in Scotland, and adds to the known history. As with other booklets published by myself, it is ground-breaking. Six Illustrations by Amaletta, map, photo. Extensive index.

Table of Contents:
Foreword, the word Gypsy, ancient origins, Gypsies lose Royal favour, effects of the Act of 1609, Gypsies North of the Tay, Fife and Stirlingshire Gypsies, Across the Scottish Lowlands, Gypsies in the South West, Gypsies in the Borders, Settlement at Kirk Yetholm, Internal feuds, Kings and Queen, the Scottish Gypsies' Advocate, Gypsy Customs, Acceptance into Society, Scottish Travellers, Appendices, Useful addresses, Education, Indices.

About the Author :
Donald Whyte. who has died since the book was published, was one of Scotland's leading family historians and was able to bring his family history expertise to this volume. Robert Dawson began collecting cultural information from Gypsies and Traditional Travellers at the age of 11 in the 1950s and has since published over 60 books and booklets on the subject covering language, history, customs and taboos, folk lore, crime and many other areas. Since the 1980s, he has been very involved in the education of Traveller children, both as a head teacher with Traveller children in his school and more widely as the publisher, editor or writer of an acclaimed series of culture specific children's books aimed at interesting Traveller children in reading.
