Cusidh Cantrips Scottish Deerhounds

We went to our first Deerhound Breed Show in the early 1990’s at East Grinstead and had asked Dr Phyllis Poyner-Wall if we could sell our postcards there. We were pleased to find that the cards sold well with the money raised going to support our St Hubert’s Hound Sanctuary. The most memorable aspect of the show was the mud and rain and Miss Noble organising races for the hounds. Bran won us a bottle of wine and a strong reprimand from Miss Noble about using a Gaelic affix which no one in England would understand! Ardkinglas, Miss Noble’s own affix, was not Gaelic but of course comes from Gaelic – we didn’t mention that. However, Cusidh it was and still is and hence the Cusidh Cards.

Here is a YouTube clip of the BBC's History of Scotland documentary. You can read more about this clip at Rogue's Deerhound Blog - an excellent site in our opinion!

A History of Scotland goes nationwide from January 3rd on BBC 2. Look out for the Cusidhs on programmes 1 and 4.
