SUMMER READING new books
FROM THE EDITOR IF ever there was a year that we needed a little Christmas, it’s this one. A year of turmoil and uncertainty is finally coming to an end, and while the pandemic is far from over, we can look to the future with anticipation, and try to put the sadness and fear of 2020 behind us. Christmas has always been a time for giving, and this year, people are going to need our generosity more than ever. I will be buying books and gifts from local arts and craftspeople and businesses, to help support our local economy. I like the idea of buying unique gifts, and having the money stay in Australia. I always love putting together our annual 12Days of Christmas Give-Away, and we have some wonderful gifts to give to readers, including a bespoke Glass Tartan plate worth $150, made in your Clan Tartan, so make sure you get an entry into the competition (details on page 9 ). I wish our dear readers a happy and healthy Christmas, and a wonderful Hogmanay celebration as we usher in (hopefully) a year when life can return to some normality. I look forward to being able to see you at Scottish Gatherings in 2021. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas (Nollaig Chridheil).

Brisbane Gaelic Classes are back! BRISBANE Gaelic resumed classes at the tiered theatrette in Brisbane Square Library in November. If you have ever wanted to learn Scottish Gaelic, classes are free to attend, with no prior knowledge of Gaelic needed. So long as restrictions are not in place, classes will be held every month. A Christmas-themed session will be held on Sunday December 20 at the Library, when festive vocabulary, the months of the year (usage, origins and links to Gaelic life) will be discussed. Visit www.facebook.com/BrisbaneGaelic.
New Year’s Eve concert to go ahead with masquerade theme QUEENSLAND Pops Orchestra conductor Patrick Pickett (pictured left) has been growing his beard since lockdown, in the hope that he could play Santa by giving Brisbane a New Year’s Eve concert. It worked, because the annual New Year’s Eve concert was cancelled - but now it’s going ahead at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane on December 31 at 6pm and 10pm. Guest artists include tenor Kang Wang, soprano Katie Stenzel and violinist Cherin Lee. Fittingly this year, the concert will have a masquerade theme and always ends with a rousing version of Auld Lang Syne. Queensland Pops Orchestra is a freelance professional orchestra, that has been performing for 37 years and continues to go from strength to strength. Like many performing companies, much of their 2020 season was cancelled due to the restrictions put in place because of the COVID19 outbreak. Tickets are limited and will sell fast.

Summer holidays in Scotland past While international travel is off the table for the forseeable future, JUNE WIGGINS from Troon@Ayrshire Family History Society enjoys her local area and shares some images from her postcard collection. WITH current travel restrictions in place, summer holidays have changed. It seems that we have gone back to the 1950s (or even earlier). As a child in the 1930s, my mother went on holiday to Largs. That was not very far to travel, as the family lived in Prestwick. They also visited relatives in Saltcoats and I have photos of them there, paddling in the sea. With the risks at present involved in international travel, many people have decided to holiday in Scotland rather than take the chance of having to spend two weeks in quarantine on their return home from abroad. Once again holidaymakers are discovering the joys of the Ayrshire coast and other parts of Scotland. The weather may not be as reliably sunny as in Spain or Italy, but a holiday by the coast or in the beautiful countryside is still a break from everyday chores. We recently enjoyed a magnificent sunset as we looked out over Arran, which was a sight to rival any Caribbean sunset. Searching through our postcard collection, I came across a card from the early 1900s with an amusing sketch of beach life at Troon. It shows people enjoying themselves, all wearing hats of course, whether they are having a picnic or a paddle, riding a donkey or a bicycle. There are even a couple of bathing machines for those brave enough to take a dip. It was posted from Troon at 5pm on June 8, 1907. I had wondered what the weather had been like on that day and a quick internet search revealed that it had been windy and raining heavily, with a temperature of 58 degrees F, 14 degrees C. Obviously the sender of the card had a sense of humour!

EVENTS THE EDINBURGH Street Party is probably the most well-known Hogmanay celebration, complete with fireworks and huge crowds ready to welcome in the new year. While the in-person extravaganza has been cancelled due to the pandemic, and friends and families in Scotland and Australia may be limited in the number of guests they can invite, the customs associated with this end-of-year celebration are more relevant than ever. Here’s a wee guide to hosting your own Hogmanay celebrations - out with old and in with the new! If you want to take a broom to 2020 - literally - you can start by cleaning your house and getting rid of any clutter, and pay any bills, so that you can go into the new year feeling lighter. Invite some guests (in line with current restrictions) to enjoy a meal or snacks and drinks. You can go the whole hog with a haggis, bannocks and whisky, or opt for haggis-flavoured crisps and Irn Bru - it’s the company that matters and not the food. If you have a friend who is prepared to bring his or her pipes along, you’ll have some great music for dancing, but if you can’t arrange that, play some Ceilidh music on your digital device. At midnight, join hands and sing Auld Lang Syne, the poem written by Robert Burns, and set to folk music. One of the most important elements of a Hogmanay celebration is arranging for a firstfooter to be the first person to cross your threshold in the new year. He should be tall, dark and handsome and come bearing gifts of whisky, coal, food (shortbread or black bun) and sometimes salt or a silver coin. The gift of coal would ensure that you always have fuel for your fire, and could therefore stay warm. The whisky provides good cheer, and food is for sustenance.
Great Hogmanay traditions Host your own event to usher in a bright new year
Lang May Yer Lum Reek Salt can be added for a little flavour, a silver coin for prosperity and some include an evergreen sprig for longevity. It’s really up to you whatever you can lay your hands on! The custom of first-footing has a long history and is as popular as ever. The preference for a dark-haired male is believed to stem from the days of the Vikings, when a burly fair-haired man landing on your doorstep usually meant trouble. After singing Aud Lang Syne, your guests will be delighted to hear three knocks on your door. When he crosses the threshold, he will hand the gifts to the owner of the house and accept a whisky to toast the new year. This is an important part of the ritual as it is considered bad luck (and bad manners) not to offer the first-footer a drink. It is also symbolic of inviting good luck to stay. Hogmanay and first-footing are all about celebrating the greatest gift anyone can have - friends and family.

BOOKS WRITER, broadcaster and food anthropologist, Ghillie Basan, lives in the Scottish Highlands, and calls herself a ‘hospitable hermit’. “I spent my childhood in East Africa and my teenage years in Scotland, followed by a Cordon Bleu Diploma in London and a degree in Social Anthropology from Edinburgh University,” Ms Basan said. “After working and travelling in Europe, Turkey, the Middle East, North America, India, South-east Asia, and vast chunks of Africa as an English teacher, journalist, and food and travel writer, I returned to the Scottish Highlands.” Ms Basan remembers her travels with her father, and his fondness for cooking porridge. “His fond tales of porridge in his youth, and the kilted highlander on the box of Scott’s Porage Oats, led me to believe as a child that this was Scotland’s national dish. In the African bush, the warm, sweet aroma of oats simmering in the pot never failed to lure me out of the tent.” With little access to fresh milk, the porridge was different every day, sometimes drizzled with melted golden syrup or honey, served with coconut milk and mangoes, bananas or pineapple, but always with a bottle of whisky to splash over it. “Back home in Scotland in my teenage years, my father reverted to the porridge purism of his boyhood when it was still left to set in the kitchen drawer for the piece on the hill.” In a remote part of the Cairngorms National Park, she has gradually turned a ruined croft into a home (above right) where, snowbound in winter with a three-mile cross-country ski to and from the car to bring in supplies, she has raised her children as a single parent. She has written over 40 books on different cuisines, some of which

She contributes to a variety of food programs in the UK, and runs relaxed and inspiring Cookery Workshops, as well as a holiday cottage Wilderness Retreat so that people can enjoy her peaceful surroundings. “I have a collection of mortar and pestles from around the world, and all are used for different pastes and mixes so there is always a delightfully warm aroma of spices in my Highland kitchen.” While her surroundings are uniquely Scottish, her cookery workshops focus on traditional Middle Eastern cooking methods. In her latest book The Lebanese Cookbook (available February 2021), the noisy streets, bustling marketplaces and flavours of the food of Lebanon, Syria and Jordan are brought to life in a journey that connects history and modern life in every dish.

BOOKS SHINING A LIGHT ON HEROISM
WHILE history books are full of tales about male lighthouse keepers, Guiding Lights by New Zealand author Shona Riddell, shares the stories of lighthouse women (whether keepers, or wives and daughters of keepers) from around the world. They have kept the lights burning from tending coastal bonfires to modern-day lighthouse keeping. These are stories of isolation, dedication, care and heroism. The accompanying photographs, extracts from newspaper clippings, painting and portraits from throughout history further illustrate the tragic tales and the courage of women who lived in these lonely outposts, and often risked their lives to save others. While many of these remote beacons are no longer inhabited, the stories of solitary keepers, perched on sea-ravaged coastlines, live on through this informative and thoroughly enjoyable book.

From the wet English woods to the dry Aussie bush - artist finds home in North Qld THE daughter of English and Scottish parents, Daryl Dickson (pictured right) emigrated to South Australia when she was seven years old. Her wanderings in the wet English woods were replaced by walks in the dry Australian bush, but it was a book about British birds and woodland flowers that encouraged her love of nature. She settled in the ‘perfect place for a wildlife artist’ in the far north tropics of Queensland where she found beauty and inspiration. The author’s passion for the conservation of wildlife and wild places, comes together in a showcase of some of the world’s rarest species from the ancient tropical forests and landscapes of Far North Queensland. This beautiful hard cover book features Dickson’s artwork, accompanied by information and stories about each subject. She works in pencil sketches, and watercolour on water-resistant canvas paper, and perfectly captures feather, fur and fins with every brushstroke. From Laughing Kookaburras, adorable Brushtail Possums, Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroos, Flying Foxes and the endangered Mahogany Glider to quintessential Eucalypts and Grass Trees, the artist has taken full advantage of the light and colour of her rainforest home to provide a unique look into the natural world. Dickson enjoys up close encounters with the flora and fauna of the rainforest as she cares for injured and orphaned wildlife. Just as a book about birds and flowers had a lasting impression on a little girl years ago, the art of Daryl Dickson may inspire young illustrators and artists to capture the natural world around them.
