BiographyBorn in a former stable of a Blairgowrie hotel to Belle, a member of a group of Travellers, and Alex, a bagpiper,[1][2] Stewart was chosen as a child by her uncle to carry on her family's stories and songs. Performing at family cèilidhs for ten-shilling notes became more public performances in village halls,[2] although the family collectively thought performing was "[producing] a natural function".[1] In 1954, journalist Maurice Fleming and, later, folklorist Hamish Henderson arrived in town, looking for singers of traditional songs. Over the next twenty years, the Stewarts of Blair became a folk attraction on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.[2] In 1976, Stewart and her family were asked by United States President Gerald Ford to sing in the White House for the bicentennial celebrations. On 1 June 1982, she was chosen to represent the travelling people during Pope John Paul II's visit to Scotland. She sang Ewan MacColl's "Moving On Song".[2] In addition to writing her mother's biography, Queen Amang the Heather – The Life of Belle Stewart, in 2006, she published a series of booklets, titled An Ancient Old Culture, which led to her autobiography, A Traveller's Life, in 2011.[1] Until her death, Stewart shared her family's songs and stories with audiences at home and abroad. She lectured on travellers' culture at Princeton and Harvard universities and sat on the Secretary of State for Scotland's advisory committee on travellers. Stewart died on 9 December 2014, in Dundee, at the age of 77. She was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Ian McGregor, who died in 2007. They had four children.[1][2] Awards and honoursIn the 2006 Birthday Honours Stewart was made an MBE for her services to Scottish traditional music.[3] In 2016 Stewart was featured in the documentary 'Where You're Meant To Be' along with Aidan Moffat. The film features Moffat travelling around Scotland to perform his reinterpretations of traditional Scottish folk songs. Stewart is critical of Moffat's versions of the songs, though ultimately appears on stage with Moffat at a performance at Glasgow Barrowlands.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/sheila-stewart-the-singer-who-succeeded-her-mother-belle-as-doyenne-of-the-scots-travellers-tradition-of-folk-songs-and-storytelling-9922215.html |title=Sheila Stewart: The singer who succeeded her mother Belle as doyenne of the Scots Travellers' tradition of folk songs and storytelling |last=Hunt |first=Ken |date=12 December 2014 |work=The Independent |accessdate=13 December 2014}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Stewart, Sheila}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://projects.scottishcultureonline.com/hall-of-fame/sheila-stewart/ |title=Sheila Stewart |date= |work=Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame |accessdate=13 December 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140514122537/http://projects.scottishcultureonline.com/hall-of-fame/sheila-stewart/ |archivedate=14 May 2014 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/5088028.stm |title=Ferguson among honours recipients |work=BBC News |date=16 June 2006}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Ide|first1=Wendy|title=Where You're Meant To Be Review|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jun/19/where-youre-meant-to-be-aidan-moffat-folk-music-documentary|work=The Guardian |date=19 June 2016|accessdate=8 July 2016}} 15 : 1937 births|2014 deaths|Members of the Order of the British Empire|People from Blairgowrie and Rattray|Scottish folk singers|Scottish folklorists|Women folklorists|Scottish Travellers|Scottish autobiographers|Women autobiographers|20th-century Scottish writers|20th-century women writers|21st-century Scottish writers|21st-century women writers|Scottish folk-song collectors |
