Kirk Yetholm is a small village in the Scottish Borders region that for centuries was known as the headquarters of the Romani people (Gypsies) in Scotland. Brockie's ethnographic study attempts to capture the "peculiar characteristics or idiosyncrasies" of the Yetholm Gypsies "before they are absorbed in the general population of the land, and consequently lost to view." He examines important historical figures and events and briefly addresses those aspects of Gypsy life that you might expect to find in an ethnographic work: myths, religion, cookery, marriages and divorces, funerals, names, language, colonies, dance and music, education, fortune-telling, child-stealing, fairs, habits, home life, and humor. In the Miscellanea, Brockie asks the question, "Was John Bunyan a Gypsy?" The work concludes with a bibliography, "for the curious reader," of other works concerning Gypsies.

Originating in India, the Gypsies arrived in Europe around the 14th century, spreading not only across the entirety of the continent but also immigrating to the Americas. The first Gypsy migration included farmworkers, blacksmiths, and mercenary soldiers, as well as musicians, fortune-tellers, and entertainers. At first, they were generally welcome as an interesting diversion to the dull routine of that period. Soon, however, they attracted the antagonism of the governing powers, as they have continually done throughout the following centuries. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Gypsies (Romanies) seeks to end such prejudice by clarifying the facts about this nomadic people. Through a list of acronyms, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics, the history of the Gypsies and their culture is told.
