Synopses & Reviews
At the age of twenty-one, John Prebble set out to 'discover' Scotland, and just as Sir Walter Scott had been enthralled by this 'fiercely distinctive land,' so Prebble's imagination was similarly enchanted and challenged. The book draws upon a rich store of social history anecdote, folklore and literature, to conduct the reader through the Highlands, Isles and Borders.
