Based on a mixture of detailed research and information provided by the public, this book explores the remarkable diversity of ways that native plants have been, and continue to be, used in Scotland.

The book covers the complete spectrum of plant uses, addressing their diverse roles in our diet, healthcare, culture, housing, language, environment, crafts, and much more. It is ideal as a reference book and also a delight to dip into for all those with a passion for natural history. It is illustrated in colour throughout.

I've just been given this as a gift and am looking forward to sitting down for a good read. Even browsing through I can see it has an enormous amount of fascinating information and history, and so many beautiful photos of the present and the past. I especially appreciate the early photos of places like Fair Isle - wonderful faces! - and the information about edible seaweeds. I can see it's not for botanists wanting a volume full of dry details about plants, but for everyone else, it's a treasure trove.

Format:Hardcover
I totally loved this book. As the review says ... it is about people and plants, how people have used plants historically and up to the present day in Scotland. It is beautifully presented and easy to read. I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in plants and their evolution with people.
