Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Superstitions of the Highlands Islands of Scotland: Collected Entirely From Oral Sources This volume is the result of many years' labour by the late Rev. John Gregorson Campbell, while minister of Tiree during the years 1861 - to 1891. Much of the material was already collected before Mr. J. F. Campbell of Islay published his Popular Tales of the West Highlands in 1860, and readers of Lord Archibald Campbell's volumes on Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition are already acquainted with the valuable work contributed to that series by the Rev. J. Gregorson Campbell. It is hoped that this volume on the Superstitions of the Scottish Highlands, full as it is of racy stories, may throw fresh light on an extremely interesting subject.

Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, which helps us understand this literary work. We must pay special attention to those events that especially influenced the world of culture and art and also to those events that were especially reflected in literature, in the life of its writer or that affected it. There are many examples in which historical events have shaped the content and forms of literature, as well as this has often been the best testimony to the importance of certain events throughout history. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its period.John Gregorson Campbell (1836 - November 22, 1891) was a Scottish folklorist and minister of the Free Church at Tiree and Coll parishes in Argyll, Scotland. An avid collector of traditional stories, he became Secretary of the Ossianic Society at the University of Glasgow in the mid-1850s. Poor health had prevented him from starting work as a minister when he was initially approved by the Glasgow presbytery to preach in 1858 and later after the Duke of Argyll appointed him to Tiree in 1861, parishioners opposed his way of preaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Gregorson Campbell (1836-91) was a Scottish folklorist and Free Church minister at the Tiree and Coll parishes in Argyll. Folklore had been his primary interest since college days and he became secretary to the Ossianic Society of Glasgow University. Ill health prevented him taking up a ministry when he was first approved to preach, and his recuperation was spent beginning his collection of folklore tales. As an avid collector of traditional stories who was fluent in several languages including Scottish Gaelic, he meticulously transcribed the stories precisely as dictated by the individual narrators, only rarely adding his own comments. In 1861 he was appointed minister to the united parishes of Tiree and Coll by the Duke of Argyll and despite initial objections from his parishioners who did not take to his style of preaching, he held the position for thirty years. The traditional tales he had collected first saw publication in the inaugural edition of the quarterly periodical Scottish Celtic Review in March 1881, with further legends from his collection included in the next three volumes. The Gaelic Society of Inverness published several of his tales from 1888-92 and Celtic Magazine and Highland Monthly also published some of his folklore, with a first compilation entitled The Fians appearing in book form in 1891 by which time his health was failing and he died before seeing the final printed edition. Three further volumes were published posthumously, with this work, collected entirely from oral sources, appearing in 1900.

Download or read book The Gaelic Otherworld written by John Gregorson Campbell and published by Birlinn Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains two works on the Scottish Gaelic tradition -"Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland" and "Witchcraft and Second Sight in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland". John Gregorson Campbell (1836-91) was one of a number of folklorists who collected and published the traditions of his native Highlands and Islands during the second half of the 19th century and the first few years of the 20th. He was the only one of the group who specialized in the area of superstitions. Much of the material presented in this work was collected during the 1850s - an early date which happens to be one of the two reasons for its value to us today as a record of genuine tradition. The other guarantee of the authenticity of this picture of the Gaelic otherworld is Campbell's rigorous attitude to truth. He had a legal training and, following the example set by his mentor, Campbell of Islay, he subscribed fully to the scientific demands of the new academic discipline of folklore studies. In addition to his biographical introduction, Ronald Black also provides explanatory endnotes and a new index.

Book excerpt: The folklore of the Scottish Highlands is unique and very much alive. Dr Anne Ross is a Gaelic-speaking scholar and archaeologist who has lived and worked in crofting communities. This has enabled her to collect information at first hand and to assess the veracity of material already published. In this substantially revised edition of a classic work first published 30 years ago, she portrays the beliefs and customs of Scottish Gaelic society, including: seasonal customs deriving from Celtic festivals; the famous waulking songs; the Highland tradition of seers and second sight; omens and taboos, both good and bad; and, chilling experiences of witchcraft and the Evil Eye Rituals associated with birth and death. Having taken her MA, MA Hons and PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Anne Ross became Research Fellow in the School of Scottish Studies, Edinburgh. She then rapidly established herself as one of Britain's leading Celtic scholars. Her seminal work is "Pagan Celtic Britain" and she has also published "Druids - Preachers of Immortality" with Tempus Publishing.
