My grandmother was a Scottish Gypsy, She immigrated to Australia, But i have a lot of Photos like this of her and her family, She passed and i never got too meet her, But I'm proud of my heritage
@S Lawson i suppose because it reminds me of family long gone, it's not the same life as now, settled in steel trailers in a scrap yard doesn't have the same feeling
David, did you notice that some of these photos feature middle eastern faces,donkeys & teepee tents/ Romani waggons/triangular extruded tents... Scottish travellers would have used curved 'bow' tents and flat bed carts, horses & have celtic faces... only some of these photos are Scottish highland & scottish lowland trevellers
The "Bender Tents" were common in my youth in Ireland during the 60s. They say that Irish travellers split from the main population firstly about the year AD 1000 and later during the land confiscation and ethnic cleansing of the Cromwellian period. No Romany link detected here in Ireland but very prevalent in Britain.
These photos though: they are of scottish travellers with bagpipes & also photos of romani with donkeys- very confusing slide show that should not be trusted to all be photographed in scotland
No Romany link in Scotland either. They were made destitute during the clearances in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some clan names are common in their communities, like Stewart, MacAllister, MacPhee, Robertson and MacDonald. This is because often they were cleared in land far from coastal areas so had no chance of using fishing as a means of survival and werent shipped out to the 'colonies' as they were the first to be cleared, or ethnically cleansed. Sadly many Scots ostracised them, and they often kept the language and culture of Scotland alive, while the rest of the population were anglicised through education and TV
Love the one with the piper! Some Irish travellers were great traditional musicians...the Dorans/Cashes/Furys/ to name some...great photographs and thanks for upload.

Beautiful photos, the tents you see were known as a bendy made from hazel blankets then tarp, hard hard way of life, it's a bit of a myth that everyone had a stunning bowtop or vardo

Photo @3.38 is from Betsy Whyte's wonderfull book "Yellow on the Broom" It is her Mother with her brothers Willie and Hendry with his wife and bairnee lovely to see.
At 4.10 the photo is of Mrs Hannah Lakey a New Forest Hampshire Gypsy who died in 1903 at Furzey Lodge, Boldre, Hampshire so not all the photos are from Scotland
Heard stories from my grandparent about the Travellers coming through the village. Must have been a hard life being unwelcome and hired to labour on the fields.
A family, or maybe a clan, of gypsies lived in a wooden hut at the edge of a wood very close to my house, in Elgin.The young women wore bright red lipstick. I freaked out once seeing one of the men push my wee sister's posh, Silver Cross pram towards their house not knowing my dad had asked if they would like it. Years later, the council offered them a house re health and safety. I don't know if they settled. A lady learned she is descended from the clan and has written an historical book about them...according to my mam.

@@tourscotland What are you trying to claim with this montage of photos? There are photos here that are not Cedernan/Scottish Highland travellers... Some are also not lowland travellers.... Some of these photos are either not photographed in Scotland, or at a push, maybe romani camping in Scotland.... WHAT IS YOUR CLAIM ABOUT THESE PHOTOS? DO YOU CLAIM ALL OF THESE PHOTOS ARE INDEGIONOUS CELTIC TRAVELLERS IN SCOTLAND?
No problem. Another thing to know is that Highland Travellers are descended from Scottish Gaelic people. Their surnames are similar to Scottish names. Common Highland Traveller names include MacMillan, MacFie, MacDonald, Cameron, Williamson ETC. Romanichal Travellers in the other hand are descended from Romani a Gypsies who migrated to Britain in the 16th century. Common Romanichal surnames include Boswell, Calledine, Loveridge, Johnson Frankham, ETC.
@The Richest Man In Babylon some are prices ... they are genetically different to homosapiens- the prices are a very pure bloodline- brown complection & rotton teeth/ small codona shaped heads/no eyebrows- lots of marrage to brothers sisters and first cousins-
Price & codona females are very attractive in a wierd way- even when they have no teeth or eyebrows. Codona females are unususl due to the very visual deformities of their physical appearence - its very very noticable that they have unusual shaped skulls.
There were no gypsies in Scotland. There were plenty of tinkers in Ireland who crossed over as the Irish always did. Most of Scotland is half Irish for this reason. There were no tinkers before The Famine. They are people who were dispossessed by The Famine and stayed on the road out of pride and habit.

I mind them well, they used to use the prams to wheel batteries into town to get them recharged to run their radio and maybe some 12v lights.
What's the name of this book??
Lovely pictures of old fashioned people,some pictures of English gypsy people who are my ancestors, lovely to see them
