Product Description
Review
"We could see among the deserted fields the grass-grown foundations of cottages razed to the ground; but the valley, more desolate than the one we had left, had not even its single inhabited dwelling: it seemed as if man had done with it for ever... all the more lonely in its aspect from the circumstances that the solitary valleys, with their plough-furrowed patches, and their ruined heaps of stone, open up shores every whit as solitary as themselves, and that the wide untrodden sea stretches drearily around... Not a man nor a man's dwelling could the eye command. The landscape was one without figures. -Hugh Miller, 1845 'the most interesting book I've read for many years... well laid out and put together.. an exceptional book' - Program Choinnich, Radio Nan Gaidheal 'I... have been astonished at the range of sources of information brought together... a book to be read carefully by anyone who loves these islands' - West Highland Free Press

Product Description
Rum is one of the most commanding and spectacular of all the Hebrides. A wealth of original research reveals much more of the human story of this huge island. It is a history, both fascinating and varied, superbly recreated for a modern reader.
