  • In his 1783 poem Moladh Gheàrrloch ('In Praise of Gairloch'), Gaelic bard William Ross (1761–1791) describes a game of shinty, which was still a winter sport played in the Gàidhealtachd upon St. Andrew's Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Handsel Monday, and Candlemas. The bard's account of the annual New Year's Day match at ebb tide upon the Big Sand (Scottish Gaelic: Gainmheach Mhòr) of Gairloch, is, according to Ronald Black, "as succinct a description as we have of the great festive shinty matches of the past."[1]
  • The author Margaret Hope MacPherson wrote a children's book called The Shinty Boys, which was published in 1963.[citation needed]
