Debating the Highland Clearances
ISBN: 9780748621828 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

The Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age
ISBN: 9781906566784 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-10 dni roboczych. This book traces the history of relations between the kingdom of Strathclyde and Anglo-Saxon England in the Viking period of the ninth to eleventh centuries AD. It puts the spotlight on the North Britons or 'Cumbrians', an ancient people whose kings ruled from a power-base at Govan on the western side of present-day Glasgow. In the tenth century, these kings extended their rule southward from Clydesdale to the southern shore of the Solway Firth, bringing their language and culture to a region that had been in English hands for more than two hundred years. They played a key role in many of the...

Best of Scotland
ISBN: 9781780272016 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-10 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. 6-10 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. 6-10 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...

Dumfriesshire: A Frontier Region
ISBN: 9781912476282 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-10 dni roboczych. Straddling the main western route into Scotland, Dumfriesshire was the focus of successive waves of immigrants from the Stone Age people onwards. They were followed by the Beaker people of the Bronze Age, and later the Celts, renowned for their iron-working skills, their horsemanship and their militancy. After a brief spell of Roman rule, Dumfriesshire became part of the Cumbrian kingdom of Rheged. Then came the Northumbrian conquerors, Viking invaders and finally Anglo-Norman settlers. Chief among them was Robert de Brus, who was granted the lordship of Annandale, and in 1306 his...
