A stone on their cairn : clach air an càrn : a Cape Breton saga / Kevin S. MacLeod. by MacLeod, Kevin S., 1951- Glen Margaret Publishing, c2007. Call #: FICTION MACL Subjects Scots -- Nova Scotia -- Cape Breton Island -- Fiction.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- Fiction.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- Social life and customs -- Fiction.   Nova Scotia -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781897462003 (trade pbk.) Description:  396 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "Includes some text in Gaelic"--T.p. verso. Summary:  "The rich story of the Highland Scots of Cape Breton is brought to life with this fictional account of a small North Shore community. Covering an eighteen year period from the excitement of a Royal Jubilee (1897) to the trepidations of a European war (1914). "A Stone on their Cairn" is an intimate, penetrating and entertaining insight into the lives of the people of Loch Dubh. This glimpse into another era celebrates the wide spectrum of life -- where fiddles and pipes "spoke the Gaelic" at milling frolics and céilidhs, and contrite souls were comforted by evening worship in front parlours and lengthy Sabbath services in the stoic Kirk. With diaglogue in Gaelic (followed by English translations) as well as a detailed family tree, glossary and fold-out map for reference, this story is both a passport to another time and an affirmation that, indeed, the blood is strong."--Back cover.
