“Disaster was prophesied for a Choir which sang Psalm tunes and Hebridean airs, but Hugh Roberton and his Choir proved (them) wrong ... He made arrangements pieces of great beauty and warmth, shaped to fit their voices ... With this Choir, which became his life’s work, he strove to preserve the folk music of Scotland, to make people realise that tunes they knew and loved were of great musical worth and that … there is a rich treasure house of melody which must not be allowed to wither and die. He strove, in his own words, ‘to do a fine thing finely’, and he succeeded nobly.’ (Christian Science Monitor)
