The Summer Walkers by Timothy Neat

The Summer Walkers is the name the crofters of Scotland's north-west Highlands gave the Travelling People - the itinerant tinsmiths, horse-dealers, hawkers and pearl fishers who made their living 'on the road'. They are not gypsies, but are indigenous Gaelic-speaking Scots, who, to this day, remain heirs of a vital and ancient culture. The Summer Walkers documents an archetypal and vanishing way of life.
Timothy Neat is a film-maker, writer, and art historian. His film, The Tree of Liberty was Best Documentary at the Celtic International Film and Television Festival. He is the author of several books including The Voice of the Bard with John MacInnes, When I Was Young (Islands) and When I Was Young (Highlands and East Coast).
