Items related to Highland Folk Ways
The author has two main themes: to trace out the sequences of adjustment that have taken place in the lives of Scottish Highland people in response to great social and economic pressures, and to show the tenacity with which the influence of the ancient and distinctive social organisation of the Highlands has persisted. The author bases her account on surviving local tradition, the changing patterns left on the land by human settlement, and from the equipment and craftwork that made up the material setting for people's lives.

About the Author:
Isobel Grant was born in Edinburgh in 1887. She founded the Highland Folk Museum at Kingussie and met with the dwindling numbers of men and women who could recall using items exhibited. Highland Folk Ways is the result of her discussions with them, and of her own careful and dedicated research. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters by Edinburgh University in 1948, and an MBE in 1959 for her pioneering efforts in recording a living history of Highland life, which included opening Britain s first ever open-air museum in Kingussie. She died in Edinburgh in 1983, aged 96.
