| Item Description | Crichton letter page 1 of 4, dated 22/8/18. Mary Ann Crichton did research for William Walker (JSS0505). She also collected songs for the Greig-Duncan Collection of Traditional North-east Ballads, made by Gavin Greig (Skinner's arranger) and James Duncan. Mary Ann met a 'Miss Christie', and found out that her father, 'Dancie (dancing-master) Christie', had written the Monquhitter music manuscript (JSS0505). But Miss Christie was 'unwilling to divulge any information_ apparently thinking that his occupation reflected no credit on the family.' |
