Sheila Stewart is the last surviving member of the Perthshire family that became famous around the world promoting the culture of travelling folk.

She is well known as a traditional ballad singer and story teller.

Her third book, A Traveller's Life, is her autobiography.

"The whole of Scotland is going wild for my book because of the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding," said Sheila.

Sheila will be at Waterstones in Dundee on March 31 signing copies of her latest book.
