During his appointment as Glasgow University Extra-mural department's first Resident tutor in Argyll (1954-66), Eric Cregeen pioneered groundbreaking research into the Papers of the Argyll Estate and into the oral tradition of the West Highlands. When international scholar and philosopher Prof. Ernest Gellner read Cregeen's work, he described it as exemplifying 'all the best features of both social history and anthropology'. Publishers from both sides of the Atlantic vied for exclusive rights to his work, and though Eric Cregeen wrote many important papers during those years, and later, as lecturer in the School of Scottish Studies at Edinburgh University, hsi death in 1983 robbed Scotland of a great scholar.
