An introduction to the living folk traditions of Scotland, this book illustrates the major concerns and interests of a remarkable man. Hamish Henderson is well-known as a songwriter, a poet, and a pioneer in the field of Scottish folk studies and song collecting. In an other connection, he is seen as a serious political fighter and was the first British translator of Gramsci in the forties. This collection brings together his writings on poetry, politics and folk culture. There are formal essays on literature, as well as introductory pieces on the tinkers, the ballads, the Clearances, Glencoe, the folk scene and folksong recordings.
