The Boys of the Eilan
Shinty in Newtonmore
1820 - 1945
Rosemary M Gibson
with Rob Ritchie
Rosemary Gibson's book
The Boys of the Eilan marks the
125th anniversary of Newtonmore Camanachd Club. The author
weaves together press reports, club records, personal
reminisences and local shinty literature to illustrate the
growth of Newtonmore Camanachd Club from its early struggles
to national champions. The Club's history is set within the
wider context of the development of camanachd from a folk
pastime into an organised sport. The author presents the
evolution of the shinty club within the social context of
the transformation of Newtonmore from an obscure village
into one of the most popular holiday resorts in the
Highlands.
