Timeline
The 1989 play Yellow on the Broom, by Ann Downie, was based on the book, and was performed in 2018 at the Dundee Rep Theatre.
The song Yellow on the Broom, by Adam McNaughtan, on his album Words, Words, Words (1983), is based on the book. The song was also performed by Cilla Fisher and Artie Trezise on their album Reaching Out (1986); Sheena Wellington on her album Clearsong (1990); Jean Redpath on her album Summer of my Dreams (2000); Gordon Easton on his album The Last of the Clydesdales (2007); and by Claire Hastings and Robyn Stapleton on their 2015 tour.
The Muckle Sangs LP (1975) included two of her performances of ballads, The Twa Sisters (Child 10) and Young Johnstone (Child 88).
She was also significant as a singer of Scottish ballads by virtue of her personal connection to them; she was related to the Johnstone family of Young Johnstone (Child 88), which she performed in 1974.
Whyte was recorded by several different folklorists from the School of Scottish Studies between 1973 and 1988, including Linda Williamson. She and other traditional storytellers frequently visited the School of Scottish Studies. The School holds 331 separate recordings of Betsy Whyte performing songs, traditional tales, stories of the supernatural, and riddles, and recounting customs and beliefs, traveller cant, and biography.
She married Bryce Whyte, another traveller, in 1939. Bryce served with the Seaforth Highlanders during the war, but he was invalided out of the army in 1943. The couple moved to the fishing village of Usan, near Montrose. They later moved to Ferryden, and then into central Montrose.
Betsy Whyte, née Townsley (1919-1988), was a Scottish traveller. She was an accomplished singer and a noted virtuoso of traditional Scottish storytelling. Recordings of her performances are held in the permanent collection of the School of Scottish Studies, part of the University of Edinburgh. She wrote her autobiography in two parts: Yellow on the Broom, published in 1979, and its sequel, Red Rowans and Wild Honey, published posthumously in 1990.
Whyte was born in 1919 in Old Rattray, a suburb of Blairgowrie. She was awarded a scholarship to Brechin High School, where she was the only Romani pupil.
