Scottish Gypsies Under the Stewarts is a historical book written by David Macritchie that explores the lives of Scottish Gypsies during the reign of the Stewarts from the 14th to the 17th century. The book covers the history of the Gypsies in Scotland, their traditions, customs, and beliefs, as well as their relationship with the ruling Stewarts. The author delves into the lives of notable Gypsy families and their interactions with the Scottish monarchy, including their roles as entertainers, healers, and fortune-tellers. The book also examines the persecution and discrimination faced by the Gypsy community during this period, including the infamous 1609 Gypsy Trials. Through extensive research and analysis of historical documents, Macritchie provides a comprehensive and fascinating insight into the lives of Scottish Gypsies during this turbulent period in Scottish history.1894. A study of the Scottish Gypsies under the Stewarts has the advantage of embracing a much longer period of time than the Tudor period, as the era of Stewart rule, beginning with the accession of Robert II in 1371, did not actually come to an end until the death of Queen Anne in 1714. This study of the Scottish gypsies cannot claim to do more than assist in the ultimate unraveling of the intricate question of these persons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
