Saul Vaigers (Scots for "Soul Travellers") is a unique
collaboration between award winning poet William Hershaw and artist
Les McConnell. Based on the concept of a breviary or prayer book,
the beautifully designed pamphlet by Gonzalo Mazzei from Grace Note
Publications is a calendar of Saints, each related to Scotland, its
medieval shrines and pilgrims' routes. The poems and stunning
artwork deal with themes of maintaining faith and hope through
difficult times and are highly relevant in the context of today's
world. Each section comes with an explanatory note. This is a book
that will be treasured by a range of folk who are interested in
walking, poetry, Scottish landscapes, history and religion. The
combined overall quality is stunning.

Dunfermline, Scotland, in March 2020. The pamphlet was designed and
published by Grace Note Publications.
Dundee Street Songs,Rhymes and Games: The William Montgomerie
Collection, 1952 - In 1952 when these songs and rhymes were
recorded in Hilltown, Dundee there may not have been a street or
playground anywhere where the sound of children singing and playing
was part of everyday life. Although there had been Scottish
collectors of 'bairn sangs' since the 1820s, it was not until the
1940s that anyone in Scotland audio-recorded the actual sound of
playground voices. These recordings of school children captured the
vitality of the local dialect, the spontaneity of their
language-use outside the classroom, their repertoire of songs,
rhymes and games, their musicality , as well as the sounds that
echo the speed and accuracy of their hand-eye co-ordination. (Audio
links included in the notes).
