Heritage Collections - Recent Acquisitions

Scrapbooks of Margaret and Daisy Burnley-Campbell

Scrapbooks of Margaret and Daisy Burnley-Campbell (The Burnley-Campbells, Ormidale, Argyll, 1909-1919), University of Edinburgh Library, Heritage Collections, Archives (COLL-2080).

These two volumes, compiled by Margaret Burnley-Campbell of Ormidale (1857-1938) and her daughter Daisy Burnley-Campbell (1891-1973), provide a vivid record of Margaret Burnley-Campbell’s engagement with the Gaelic and women’s suffrage movements in the opening decades of the 20th century. Unusually for scrapbooks, they contain not only news cuttings, but also many items that have been preserved whole: programmes, posters, booklets, etc. They thus constitute a fully contextualized collection of rare, and in many cases unique, ephemera. Retained by the family until recently, they were bought with capital funds from a bookseller in October 2022.

In the early 20th century, Margaret Burnley Campbell was the most active of the many women involved in An Comunn Gàidhealach, the body founded to promote and preserve Gaelic language, music, and culture. She was elected to its Executive Council in 1904 and served as President from 1907 to 1909. She also played a prominent role on its Education Committee, promoting Gaelic education in state schools and setting up Gaelic summer schools for adult learners. In 1911, she was the prime mover behind ‘An Clachan’, the model Highland cottage that formed part of the Scottish Exhibition in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. The scrapbooks contain records of these activities, of Mòds, and of many public meetings that she either chaired or addressed as an in-demand speaker.
