Synopsis
Unmatched in its romantic resonance, Scotland's remote landscape offers tales of courage and savagery, of loyalty and treachery--legends set against a panorama of wild beauty. This illustrated celebration of the history of the Scottish Highlands and clans is also ties into a PBS documentary narrated by Sean Connery. Illustrations, 30 in color.
