About the Author
Perthshire is the adopted home to MARGARET BENNETT who was brought up on the islands of Skye, Lewis and Shetland in a family of tradition bearers, Gaelic on her mother's side and Scots on her father's. She is a folklorist, singer, writer, and part-time lecturer on the Scottish Music degree at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. She 'wears her scholarship lightly', whether at home with her 'Ochtertyre Song Weekends', or at an international festival in North America. In handing on tradition, she inbues an infectious enthusiasm into her workshops, teaching songs in an enriched cultural context. A recipient of several previous awards, in 2010 she received an Honorary Doctor of Music from the RSAMD in recognition of her contribution to Scottish tradition. Author of several books, including Scottish Customs from the Cradle to the Grave, (2004) and her book with Doris (cited below), Margaret also sings on CD collaborations with her late son, Martyn-Glen Lyon is set in the heart of Perthshire. She is Patron of the Traditional Music and Song Association and of 'Crofting Connections' (a Scottish Curriculum for Excellence project).
Review
'Here is a book I can understand! It tells so many stories, and weaves the lives of different generations of the people of Perthshire together so simply, just as if you are sitting round the kitchen table with a cuppa and hearing them first hand! And it is the tellers voices that shine through clear as the sunlit Tay and sparkle with their precious memories, ordinary everyday memories, playground games, jokes and stories passed from 'Mouth to Mouth, Eye to Eye and Heart to Hear. ...' Claire Hewitt
