The Oban Times, 10 March, 1934 The Music of the MacCrimmons Inveran Hotel, Invershin, Sutherland, 3 March, 1934 Sir,–it is quite evident that your correspondent Mr. Cameron and I are so divergent in our views with regard to piobaireachd that, even with a valuable aid of your esteemed columns, I fear it is quite hopeless […]

The Oban Times, 6 January, 1934 [The Music of the MacCrimmons] Ostaig, Skye, 20 December, 1933 Sir,–I welcome every support for the proposal that all available records of music be collected and published; but clearly Mr. Cameron’s object is not the same as mine.
