The hamlet of Burnside of Dun whose story this book tells was once a thriving little community of agricultural labourers and linen handloom weavers making a bare living alongside a well-used drove road. By the end of the 19th century, the disappearance of cattle droving and handloom weaving combined with the drying up of casual farm labouring led to the settlement being abandoned by all but the very old.

Notes:
The hamlet of Burnside of Dun whose story this book tells was once a thriving little community of agricultural labourers and linen hand-loom weavers making a bare living alongside a well-used drove road. Today only its evocative memorial and rickles of stones marking the foundations of the cottages remain, lost in the wooded hills of North Angus and barely remembered.
