Debating the Highland Clearances
ISBN: 9780748621828 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Storm clouds always gather over the story of the Highland Clearances. The eviction of the Highlanders from the glens and straths of the Highlands and Islands of the north of Scotland still causes great historical dispute more than a century after the events. The Highland Clearances also generated a great deal of contemporary controversy and documentation. The record comes in diverse forms and with radically different provenances, offering excellent material for exercises in historical analysis and selection. Debating the Highland Clearances introduces the Highland Clearances as a classic...

Best of Scotland
ISBN: 9781780272016 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. In this imaginative, informative and amusing miscellany, award-winning journalist John MacLeod explores some of the well-known symbols of Scottish culture (as well some of the quirkier ones) and looks beneath the surface to shatter some long-held assumptions that will surprise even the most well-informed Scotophile. Did you know, for example, that the kilt was actually banned in Scotland at one point, and that particular tartans were never originally identified with specific clans, let alone surnames?

Walking with Cattle: In Search of the Last Drovers of Uist
ISBN: 9781780274881 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Droving was once the lifeblood of Scotland's rural economy, and for centuries Scotland's glens and mountain passes were alive with thousands of cattle making their way to the market trysts of Crieff and Falkirk. With the Industrial Revolution, ships, railways and eventually lorries took over the drovers' trade. Except, however, in the Western Isles, where droving on foot continued until the mid-1960s. In this book Terry J. Williams follows the route of the drovers and their cattle from the remote Atlantic coast of Uist to the Highland marts.

Dugald Mitchell's Tarbert Past and Present (written in the late 19th century!) is a marvellous account of a community at the height of the fishing boom.

Morvern: A Highland Parish
ISBN: 9781912476138 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. There must be very few corners left in the British Isles against whose picturesque and historical background so many dramas and epic tales have been played, but yet which so little has been documented. Such a place is Morvern - a roughly triangular-shaped peninsula lying west of Fort William and at the foot of the Great Glen. Immortalised by James MacPherson (as the home of Ossian, the Heroic Fingalian warrior), Tennyson and Scott, it is now a remote and little known part of what was Argyll lost in the anonymity of the Highland region. Morvern: A Highland Parish (first published...

Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, is now Scotland's youngest city, a vibrantly growing community and the main destination for all tourists who seek their Highland roots or that more elusive creature - Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Inverness's history, however, belies its peaceful present. Founded by Scotland's monarchs as a strategic outpost on a wild frontier, the royal burgh on the Ness has been caught up time and again in the struggles that mark Highland and British history. Over the centuries, rebels against Lowland rule, the forces of Robert Bruce, followers of the...

When did thousands of people last crowd into Edinburgh's High Street to witness an execution? Three brass bricks on the pavement mark the spot, but how many people notice them or know what they mean? As a fire engine roars along the road sirens blaring and lights flashing, what has that got to do with a fire of 1824? Why was Leith in mourning one bleak day in 1915 and where can you find a monument which commemorates the tragic event? The answers are all in an expanded and revised edition of Edinburgh Curiosities. Thomson and Coghill have trawled through the city's characters to...
