Identifier: Coll-2080
Content Description
These two scrapboosk were compiled by Margaret Jane Campbell Hunter (a.k.a. Mrs Burnley-Campbell of Ormidale (1857-1938)) and her daughter Daisy
Helen Burnley-Campbell (later Warrand (1891-1973)). Dealing with both public and private life, they contain a substantial quantity of material relating to Margaret’s participation in the Gaelic movement, including events devoted to Gaelic language, Highland culture, games and music. They also record her involvement in the suffragette movement, militant and non-militant in Scotland and England, as well as her participation in high society life, including sporting occasions and theatre. The scrapbooks culminate in a large quantity of material relating to the First World War, in which Margaret was active on the home front in Scotland, and Daisy as an ambulance driver in Calais and Women’s Legion driver in both London and Edinburgh. Margaret’s son, Colin William Burnley-Campbell was killed in France in 1915.
