Hi my grandmother maggie stewart

yes she was Jeannie Robertson'\s aunty and I was in the house when Hamish Henderson Recorded some of my grandmothers songs the sung a song young hugh to an old air Ye Banks and Breas o bonny doune. but the same song was called Sir Hugh and the Jew's Daughter.

yes Maggie Stewart died at the age of 80 years old and Stanley Robertson Recorded some of her storys and Ballads. Maggie Stewart was a Composser of Folk songs she recorded to Hamish Henderson but Stanley Robertson would not touch her hard work in her home made family songs becouse the songs she had compossed she give then to me her grandson James Stewart.

The wee house in the Country, was a song that Stanley Robertson sung a lot but he would not put it on an LP without Maggie Stewart's help in getting it recorded. The Shooting Green's was one of her songs about my granduncle, he was Maggie Stewart's Brother Davie Stewart that owned a farm up on top O' Shooting Greens as Davie he was my Grand uncle, also an uncle to Jeannie Robertson the Ballad folk Singer from Aberdeen.

My GrandMother Maggie Stewart was Born at the Loch O' the Lee's outside Banchory in the year of 1902 and died in Aberdeen in the year of 1983 aged 80 years old. she lived in Forfar for years when Hamish Henderson went to Forfar to Record some of the Stewarts and Maggie Stewart was just one of them same family of Folk singers.

it took me a long time to do my Family tree and I know where most of my grandmothers cousings are and her neices, who they are, as Hamish Henderson Recorded them all , but not me as I was just 15 years old and sent into a childreans homes in Aberdeenshire.

Sheila Stewart and Jess Smith tells the Storys of travelling peoples children getting up lifted from travelling peoples camps in Aberdeenshire and all over the Perthshire glens well. its true in what they are saying, I was just one off them travelling children that was lifted 18 years in a childrens home was no fun, gust cruelty to children. I did not know who was my family of Stewart's Robertson's and the Mc Donald's untill now. I know, in the year of 1952 before I was born Hamish Henderson was doing some Ballad recordings on the travelling people. well I was not born then I was sent into a chilrens home at the age of 4 years old and did not come out untill I was 15 years old.
