ESTABLISHED IN THE YEAR MDCCCLXXVIII. ^^ PUBLICATIONS OP THE FOLK-LORE SOCIETY. XLVII. [1900] THE GAMES ^ DIVERSIONS OF ARGYLESHIRE COMPILED BY ROBERT CRAIG MACLAGAN, M.D " " Aibainn bheadarrach ! LONDON PUBLISHED FOR THE FOLK-LORE SOCIETY BY DAVID NUTT, 57-59 LONG ACRE 1901 1&73SG Printed by Ballantyne, Hanson dr" Co. At the Ballantyne Press — — A 6,. PREFACE When the Folk-Lore Society suggested the collecting of count}' folk-lore, the writer sent a circular (August 1893) to all clergymen, school-teachers, and some others in Argyle and its attached islands, asking if they would assist. Headings for the various subjects and hints on the best methods of collecting and noting information were given. One of the first answers, on the specimen collecting-sheet sent out, was : " In two volumes, by . viz., . and . published by William Paterson, Edinburgh (now Paterson <^ Company, Paternoster Row, London). Dr. Maclagan will find all that could be collected of any interest in the ' Superstitions and Folk-Lore of the West Highlands,' September ist, 1893." Though unsigned, and without locality' of origin, this was not encouraging, but all hope of finding something worth re- cording was not abandoned. That much was yet to be done has been proved by the work of Gregorson Campbell of Tirec, and Malcolm MacPhail of Kilmartin. This is a further en- deavour in the same direction, and it is hoped, while it is, so far as known, the only collection of nothing but Scottish games, that it may, even if imperfect, form a groundwork for a complete exposition, probably by other observers. This is the age of co-operation, and of my fellow-workers I wish to acknowledge specially the assistance of: Miss Elizabeth M. Kerr, till recently' of the F. C. Manse, Port Charlotte, Islay, a colleague without whose enthusiastic assistance this collection would never have appeared. Also Miss Jessie Macleod, Auchoish, Ardrishaig. vi PREFACE The Rev. Neil Campbell of Kilchrennan. Mr. Peter MacDonaid, New Selma House, Ledaig. Mr. Colin MacDonaid, Public School, Lochbuy; and Mr. Ian Macdougall, now Secretary to the Clan MacDougall Society. The airs to which the rhymes are sung were noted in Sol-fa by Mr. Donald Macfadyen, Port Charlotte, Islay, and translated into the older notation by Miss Effie Maclagan, Edinburgh, No hard and fast line has been drawn, but the contents arc simply pastimes found in use in Argyleshire at the present day. There has been no attempt to connote games played elsewhere in Britain. The student who desires to do this has the necessary material in Mrs. Gomme's "Traditional (British) Games" (2 vols. London, 1894-98, forming the first section of her " Dictionary of British Folk-Lore "), a monumental work, to which this may be considered an appendix. The Gaelic critic will no doubt find weak places, but if, c.^., he attacks the frequent use of the word cailleacJi for a "den," we admit the word should be callaidh, but if the chil- dren will call it " the old wife," we accept their joke as par- takers in their fun.

Another more peculiarly played by boys is called Dinging the Bonnets Any number of boys pile their bonnets on the top of each other, and form themselves into a ring, taking each others' hands, the pile of bonnets being in the centre. They then drag each other, swaying and swerving backward and forward ; the object being to bring one or other into collision with the bonnets, so as to tumble them. When one tumbles them, he goes out of the ring, the pile is made up again, and they go on as before, until the number left in the ring is reduced to the lowest practicable limit. A more purel}' Gaelic amusement and played within doors on winter evenings is An Dribleis (The Afflicted) Or, as the reciter described it, it means "An old man who would in those days (seventy years ago) be carried in a rude barrow from house to house." This game was popular in Balvicar, Argyle, in the early part of the centur}'. A — ARTICULATION A large number of the young folk of the village would be seated round the peat fire on two stones or a peat or some such extemporar}' support. The leader of the company said, ''So an dribleis " (This is the afflicted one), to which another would answer, " Gu de tha an dribleis ag iarraidh ? " (What does the afflicted one want?). The leader would answer, "Do leth chas chuir air chrith mar tha mise, mar tha mise" (You to shake your one leg as I do). All the party round the fire would commence to shake the one leg. The same formula was carried on with each limb till the whole were shaking, all doing this at the same time, any one, of course, stopping being put out of the game. ARTICULATION To test the powers of accurate articulation without stumb- ling there are several phrases. In English the well-known " " one of Peter Piper : Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper off a pewter plate. Where is the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked ? These are used in some cases as a means of getting forfeits. The Gaelic ones are as follows : 1. Uisg' blath, bog, Tighinn mach a gob A cheatail. (Water warm, soft, coming from the spout of the kettle.) 2. Thoir am bord a beul na poit, 's cuir am beul na poit e. (Take the lid from the mouth of the pot and put it in the mouth of the pot.) " 3. Iteag na circe brice fo chiste mo shean-mhathair. (A feather of the spotted hen under my grandmother's chest.) 4. Tha nead na cearca breaca ann an ciste mine mo shean- mhathair. — — — ARTICULATION (The nest of the speckled hen is in the meal-chest of my grandmother.) 5. Tha gob fad air a bhudagochd ; tha 'm budagochd gun ghob. (The woodcock has a long beak ; the woodcock has no beak.) In this latter, if a trip in the pronunciation were made, the sound would probabl}^ be obscene. Budagochd is translated woodcock, of which it is surely a malversation (?) ; but in Mull the word giidabochd is used for a snipe. 6. Chleachd a chearc dhubh bhi breith anns a chliabh ; agus chleachd a chearc liath bhi breith anns a chro. (The black hen used to lay in the creel and the grey hen used to lay in the fold.) The following is said to have been a favourite exercise for his pupils with a former schoolmaster of D., who required it to be repeated with great rapidity and a solemn face.

  • Gce As Marking Scheme
    GCE AS MARKING SCHEME SUMMER 2019 AS (NEW) MUSIC - UNIT 3 2660U30-1 © WJEC CBAC Ltd. INTRODUCTION This marking scheme was used by WJEC for the 2019 examination. It was finalised after detailed discussion at examiners' conferences by all the examiners involved in the assessment. The conference was held shortly after the paper was taken so that reference could be made to the full range of candidates' responses, with photocopied scripts forming the basis of discussion. The aim of the conference was to ensure that the marking scheme was interpreted and applied in the same way by all examiners. It is hoped that this information will be of assistance to centres but it is recognised at the same time that, without the benefit of participation in the examiners' conference, teachers may have different views on certain matters of detail or interpretation. WJEC regrets that it cannot enter into any discussion or correspondence about this marking scheme. © WJEC CBAC Ltd. GCE MUSIC - UNIT 3 SUMMER 2019 MARK SCHEME General principles for marking: 1. Awarding marks: Unless otherwise stated, this examination awards one mark per relevant comment. 2. Multiple choice questions: Accept only one correct answer. Where two answers are underlined, no mark is awarded. 3. One word answers: Where one specific response is required and more than one answer is supplied, accept the first answer only. 4. Short answer questions: A description of the types of answers accepted are supplied along with examples of correct answers. 5. Additional instructions: Any additional instructions required to mark individual questions will be supplied with the answer in brackets [ ].

  • Be a Guid Sport!
    BE A GUID SPORT! TEACHERs BOOK Be A Guid Sport! This workbook “Be a Guid Sport” covers a range of sporting and leisure activities associated with Scotland and Ulster which could be used either by P.E. teachers or by teachers of other subjects as an extension to work on some of the other Ulster-Scots booklets. The Pupil Booklet includes research tasks, classroom-based work and also some physical activities. The Pupil Booklet is divided into 5 sections: Team Games; Highland Games; Street Games; Winter Sports and Golf. “Be a Guid Sport” is a companion to the “Birlin roon tha Flair” booklet on Scottish Country Dance. In this Teachers Book some additional information is provided along with answer sheets and also assessment grids. Some of the activities will enable P.E. teachers to address aspects of Communication and I.T. and to contribute to pupil assessment of these skills. Shinty The purpose of this section is to introduce the game of shinty and to encourage pupils to see its links with hurling. The stretch of sea between Northeast Ireland and Southeast Scotland might seem like a barrier to us today. In ancient times, however, when roads did not exist and journeys across land were hard and dangerous, the short sea crossing was a much easier way to travel. As a consequence people have been moving backwards and forwards be- tween these two areas for as long as we have knowledge. Settlers from Ireland brought the sport of hurling to Scotland over 2000 years ago. Shinty appears in the legend—the Ulster Cycle— of the Celtic hero Cúchulainn but it has become associated with Scotland while Ireland is associated with hurling.

  • The Story So Far
    The Story So Far ... Pre-1850 - The Early Days The history of curling in the Bridge of Weir area prior to 1850 is a little sketchy. Robert Spiers, a member of the Club who died in 1863, is recorded as saying that his father and others in the district began to play the game immediately after the great match between the Duke of Hamilton and William McDowall of Castle Semple on Lochwinnoch Loch for a prize of 1000 guineas, which took place in early 1784. Apparently, curling became very popular in the district as a result of this match. The First Grand Match, Penicuik, 15 January, 1847 Water colour. Artist: Jemimah Wedderburn It is recorded that the Club was instituted in 1846, and the Royal Caledonian Curling Club Annual of 1847 records the admittance of the Club. The Black Bull Inn was the venue on 3 November 1849 for the first minuted meeting of the Club, when Mr. Spiers Senior was elected president. 1850 - 1900 - The Great Outdoors Friendly matches against other clubs, District Medal draws, and club matches for President’s prizes or the Club medal were the normal pattern for the first fifty years, with Club rinks traveling to curl at Grand Matches at Carsbreck. The earliest friendly match minuted was against Dalry Union in 1848 but regular friendly matches were held against Houston, Kilbarchan, Kilmacolm, Paisley, Johnstone, Ardgowan Barony, and Lochwinnoch. Points competitions or ends of striking were recorded, and on one occasion a peeled game was resolved by 2 ends of outwicking. Houstonhead and Lochwinnoch were regular venues for X11th Province competitions and friendlies during the 19th century.

  • Amusements in Mathematics, by Henry Ernest Dudeney
    Transcribers note: Many of the puzzles in this book assume a familiarity with the currency of Great Britain in the early 1900s. As this is likely not common knowledge for those outside Britain (and possibly many within,) I am including a chart of relative values. The most common units used were: the Penny, abbreviated: d. (from the Roman penny, denarius) the Shilling, abbreviated: s. the Pound, abbreviated: £ There was 12 Pennies to a Shilling and 20 Shillings to a Pound, so there was 240 Pennies in a Pound. To further complicate things, there were many coins which were various fractional values of Pennies, Shillings or Pounds. Farthing ¼d. Half-penny ½d. Penny 1d. Three-penny 3d. Sixpence (or tanner) 6d. Shilling (or bob) 1s. Florin or two shilling piece 2s. Half-crown (or half-dollar) 2s. 6d. Double-florin 4s. Crown (or dollar) 5s. Half-Sovereign 10s. Sovereign (or Pound) £1 or 20s. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should be adequate to solve the puzzles in this book. AMUSEMENTS IN MATHEMATICS by HENRY ERNEST DUDENEY In Mathematicks he was greater Than Tycho Brahe or Erra Pater: For he, by geometrick scale, Could take the size of pots of ale; Resolve, by sines and tangents, straight, If bread or butter wanted weight; And wisely tell what hour o' th' day The clock does strike by algebra. BUTLER'S Hudibras . 1917 PREFACE Pg v In issuing this volume of my Mathematical Puzzles, of which some have appeared in periodicals and others are given here for the first time, I must acknowledge the encouragement that I have received from many unknown correspondents, at home and abroad, who have expressed a desire to have the problems in a collected form, with some of the solutions given at greater length than is possible in magazines and newspapers.
