Biographical notes
Duncan Kippen, of Crieff, Perthshire, also contributed music to his friend Robert Ford's Vagabond Songs and Ballads of Scotland (1904). "Kippen was a Crieff man, a musician, composer and organist, as well as being a more than talented local historian and scribe. Indeed, he is mentioned in the preface to Porteous’s History of Crieff and it would appear that much of the local historical information contained therein came from his pen. A more avuncular individual than Porteous, he tended to shun the lime light but on reflection must be rated alongside his Perth contemporary Fittes in contribution to research into our past."
