Widows of Clyth by Donald Campbell

[trinkie]

I'm not quite sure where to put this - Genealogy, Literature or Recommendations..... someone other will decide I'm sure.

I have been told that the play Widows of Clyth by Donald Campbell is being reprinted ( at long last ) and can be purchased on line from -

www.fairplaypress.co.uk (http://www.fairplaypress.co.uk)

This book is a fictional account of the fishing tragedy at Clyth in 1876
involving several Sutherlands, Sinclair and MacKay
Folk who are doing Family History will find this well worth reading.

I saw the play in Edinburgh some years ago and was deeply moved.

It is beautifully written and full of atmosphere and emotion.

trinkie, I remember this play being on at the Festival once, but I couldn't get tickets. I wonder if it might help me with some info about my MacKays and Sinclairs. :confused
It would make a good present for someone interested in family history or indeed just the history of the area....and nicely timed for (shhhh!) Christmas...:D
