Highlands & Islands of Scotland: A New History

The Highlands and Islands: famed for being variously haunted, desolate, romantic, brooding, tragic and mysterious. From the formation of the landscape millions of years ago to the twenty-first century, Alistair Moffat explores the events and people which have shaped Highland history: saints and sinners, outlaws and monarchs, clan chiefs and crofters. Drawing on a wide range of sources including medieval manuscripts and sagas, poetry and popular culture, this book gives an all-round account of the experiences of ordinary Scots above the Highland line over thousands of years.
