Beatrix Potter

From early childhood beatrix potter loved Perthshire as her father, Rupert Potter, rented Dalguise House every summer from 1871 to 1881. For a child drawn to nature this was an idyllic setting, and in those days, Gaelic was spoken among country folk and gentry alike. Although English was the language of commerce, when Queen Victoria visited the Murrays of Atholl in 1842 she advised them to employ a Gaelic-speaking nursemaid in Blair Castle. In 1871 she appointed a Gaelic bard to translate her Leaves from the Journal of a Life in the Highlands, from 1848-1861. The Scottish Highlands has long been the subject of writers, including Europe’s most celebrated nature bard, Duncan MacIntyre, (1724-1812). His Oran an t-Samhraidh (Song of Summer) details over forty species of flora, some of which feature in Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit which she began in Dunkeld in 1892. As Perthshire is also the homeland of the ancient Clan Gregor, not surprisingly, Mr. MacGregor appears. Now, at last, Gaelic-speaking children may delight in The Tale of Peter Rabbit and all his family. Margaret Bennett, Perthshire 2008
