A project has been launched to help in securing Hamish Henderson’s papers for the nation. Hamish Henderson, a Scottish poet, soldier, pacifist, political activist, songwriter and the leading folklorist of his generation also co-founded the School of Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh in 1951, which has gone on to record 12,000 hours worth of oral tradition reflecting the lives and cultures of the Scottish people.
