Many of these Scots not living in Scotland are keen to find out about their ancestral past. Our archive can facilitate this process quite easily. Our digital downloads from our shop LINK HERE will help you find your Scottish ancestral family connections.
Highest academic endorsements
This archive, and the heritage research involved together with my knowledge of Scotland’s past has been recognised with the highest academic award. The award of the first PhD by public output of its kind in the world featuring video capture of Scottish heritage and speaking the Scots language. Within Scottish school education our footage is provided as validated educational resources. The footage has been deemed suitable to address the content of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence within every Scottish school. My work has received the following endorsement from an eminent professor. Emeritus Professor Henry Ellington of the Robert Gordon University. He was the person tasked with writing the book which was published in 2002, under the title ‘The Robert Gordon University – A History’. He has made the following statement about Don Carney’s contribution, as a past academic at RGU, to our North East life “Indeed, the author would opine that he has probably done as much to promote and preserve knowledge and understanding of pre-1950’s NE rural life as Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
Rare insight into Scotland's past
Most of the filming for this authentic Scottish heritage footage was filmed in the north east of Scotland. The heritage and cultural content however equally applies to other parts of Scotland and the world. Testimony to this is that our past DVDs went to 13 countries world-wide. The reason for this is that ordinary people all share common aspects about our past. For example horse power has been used here in Aberdeenshire for over two hundred years before tractors were invented. The type of horse used was the Clydesdale. Other parts of the world used their own favoured breed of horse to power their agricultural requirements. The entertainment we enjoyed in the 1920s in the farm buildings included music, song and stories. The words may be in a different language but they speak about the same common things. Music crosses all world boundaries. So Scotland’s past has a shared place with other cultures. We are “all Jock Tamsons Bairns the world ower.
