title = "Leisure and Recreation in an Age of Clearance: The Case of the Hebridean Michaelmas",
abstract = "A study of the transformations of an interrelated group of calendar customs in the western Scottish G{\`a}idhealtachd during the early modern and modern periods, as a result of specific socio-economic processes, and individual historical events. The paper casts doubt on the sweeping conclusions made by some scholars regarding purportedly recurring patterns of popular belief, ritual practice, or, at a deeper level, 'cosmology'. It lays the ground for further investigation of calendar customs in the region, placing them in a wider European context - this may offer innovative perspectives on socio-economic, religious, and cultural change.
