ISBN: 9781912476121 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Knoydart - the northern edge of the `Rough Bounds' is one of the most evocative names in Scotland. This text offers a history of Knoydart from the earliest times to the present day.

His protection racket has bequeathed the word...

The Debatable Land: The Lost World Between Scotland and England
ISBN: 9781509804719 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Debatable Land was an independent territory which used to exist between Scotland and England.

At the height of its notoriety, it was the bloodiest region in the country, and preoccupied the monarchs and parliaments of England, Scotland, and France. After most of its population was slaughtered or deported, it became the last part of Great Britain to be conquered and brought under the control of a state. Today, it has vanished from the map and no one knows exactly where and what it was. When Graham Robb moved to a lonely...
