THE FETTERANGUS STEWARTS
I have made separate pages in this website for the Fetterangus Stewart singers and musicians who were introduced to Goldstein by Hamish Henderson, and given much more about them in a separate website here - Home.
The key singer for Goldstein at the time was Lucy Stewart, from whom Goldstein recorded so many songs, stories, rhymes and riddles. Her musician siblings Jean and Ned also gave much, not just tunes.
Jean's daughters Elizabeth and Jane contributed fine and energetic singing and piano, and in later years Elizabeth showed what remarkable she had in ballad singing and piano playing.
With a lesser part in Goldstein's work but also excellent singers were other relatives - Christina Stewart, her daughter Jean Turriff and Jean's husband Cameron, who also lived in Fetterangus.
In 1967 Arthur Argo was recorded introducing Fetterangus artists at Blairgowrie Folk Festival. He told the audience that Fetterangus, a small village in Aberdeenshire, boasted at least 20 fine singers, several of whom were taking part in the concert. First of these was Jane Turriff.

ABOUT A TRAVELLER FAMILY

A Memory of Fetterangus.

My family from my dads side all grew up in Fishie
They were the Stewarts and the Whyte's . A fantastic family to grow up in they have so much history. My dad stayed in Fishie till he married and moved to Macduff (now back but in Mintlaw) He told us of all the things his brothers and cousins got up to and believe me they had some adventures lol. I went for holidays with my dad’s cousin Tina Mckay (Stewart) and his cousin Francis (Stewart) The freedom we had to run around the fields and fish in the Ugie. there was a wee house at the bottom of the road next to the pub where we were given strawberries but apparently the owners told us how my father and his brothers and cousins used to sneak in and pinch them lol There was Granny Gray on the high street whom we made a point of visiting. Everyone knew everyone and they all kept an eye on the kids out playing. I myself came back to marry in the Fishie church with all the family coming home for that day.
Most now are buried in the local church yard where i used to walk out to to visit my granda Whytes grave.
Was there just last week as my dad’s cousin Tina lost her lovely hubby Douglas Mckay. Was a sad day but brought back so many memories of happier times.

Description of Fetterangus in 1917.
When Lucy Stewart came to Fetterangus, it mostly consisted of thatched cottages, with a chemist's shop, two souters [shoemakers], a baker and three masons. She agrees that it was largely a community of farmservants. Eddie Gray's factory started c. 1935. Many people worked on the Pitfour estate.
How Fetterangus came to be called 'Fishy': the Laird of Pitfour started a canal from Peterhead, with the intention of making Fetterangus a depot for fish, but work stopped when the railway came.
