To thank you for the 6 DVD’s which I ordered on Monday and were delivered yesterday. We spent a very pleasant evening watching two of them. They are brilliant. Only problem is I remember a lot of the things when they were happening and it reminds me how old I am getting!! From a satisfied customer Oct 2018

Emeritus Professor Henry Ellington of the Robert Gordon University and the person tasked with writing the book which was published in 2002, under the title ‘The Robert Gordon University – A History’ has made the following statement about Don Carneys contribution, as a past academic at RGU, to our North East life.
“Indeed, the author would opine that he has probably done as much to promote and preserve knowledge and understanding of pre-1950’s NE rural life as Lewis Grassic Gibbon.”
