    A little bit of Argyll social history.

    Hello Rabble,

    Have a look at my great great grandfathers obituary from 1930, recently discovered in some family papers. I suspect it is of more interest to me than you, but it does provide a tiny insight into highland life in the 19th century. Anyone for sixty aside shinty? Now, I would be very pleased if anyone could throw some light on the history of the Argyll Highland Rifles and if anyone can direct me to a good source for old highland ballads and tunes, both of which, as you might have guessed from the obit. have sparked an interest.
