Book Description
Established in 1896 with the coming of the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway, Rock Lake Station was for over forty years a bustling centre for Algonquin park tourism and commerce. Unfortunately the demise of the railway in the late 1940's sealed its fate and today there are no signs of its existence, unless one knows where and how to look, . This book is the third in a series of narratives designed to bring to life the human history of Algonquin Park with specific focus on over 100 years of an active and vibrant Rock Lake and Whitefish Lake community.

A Doric Dictionary

Book Description
What's the difference between a meggie-monyfeet and a hornie-gollach? Between snap-an-rattle and murly-tuck? All is explained in the Doric Dictionary. It is a two-way lexicon of words and phrases drawn from the former Banffshire in the North through Aberdeenshire to the Mearns and North Angus and drawn from the published works of most the North-east's best-known writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. As the writer says in his foreword, 'There is not one monolithic form of Doric but a multliplicity of forms; and words can change not only from county to county but from village to village'. The Dictionary contains no fewer than eight variants of the term for a seagull. This new version (2018) is enhanced by a most stimulating injection of Buchan vocabulary drawn from W. P. Milne's historical novel, Eppie Elrick.
The Cornkister Days
Author: David Kerr CameronPublisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 0857909096
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
A detailed look at the lives of the Scottish tenant farmers and laborers who worked the land from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. With a knowledge and a skill that reveals his passion for the land and its people, David Kerr Cameron picks his way through the rural upheavals and developments of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries towards the landscape we recognize today. In doing so he provides a wide-sweeping and unforgettable view of our rural history and completes his great rural trilogy portraying the old farming landscapes of Scotland’s North-East Lowlands. Both nostalgia and great understanding are revealed as the author recalls a society based on the plough, a society that moved against the tapestry of the year: “This was the backcloth against which the farmtoun folk lived out their days; its seasons and rituals governed their lives, and ultimately their destinies. Here now is that story, the story of a landscape all but lost before the onward march of agri-business and agri-technology.” The days recalled are the days of the Clydesdale horse and the hired man, the cottar and crofter, the farmtoun tenant, and his laird. Praise for The Cornkister Days “Here you can smell the tang of the soil and hear the jingle of the harness. Cameron takes his place among the great Scottish writers of the last century.” —Jack Webster
