The American author Margaret Fay Shaw in her own words in her introduction:
"This book contains folklore & folksongs taken down in a small community on the south side of Lochboisdale on the Island of South Uist in the Scottish Hebrides, where I lived during the years between 1929 & 1935 and near where I lived ever since. It is an attempt to give a true record of a splendid people who are crofter-fishermen, of their occupations, interests and pleasures."
