About the author
Ellen Emma Guthrie was a Scottish author associated with books on Scottish tradition and history. Sources available online credit her with works including Old Scottish Customs, Local and General and Tales of the Covenanters.
Her writing is especially tied to subjects that matter to readers of cultural history: everyday customs, local beliefs, and episodes from Scotland’s past. That makes her work appealing not just as storytelling, but also as a window into how people remembered and described Scottish life.
Little confirmed biographical detail appears to be readily available in the sources consulted, so it is safest to remember her chiefly through her books and their lasting interest for readers drawn to folklore, custom, and historical narrative.
