5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully informative look at these islands, 23 Feb 2004

By	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This fascinating book was first published in 2002, and gives an up-to-date look into the history of Barra and its adjacent islands (the southernmost Outer Hebrides). It begins with a look at the geology and ecology of the islands, and then moves into their history, going from the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago to the enforced emigrations of the mid-nineteenth century. Along the way, the reader is treated to many pictures (most black-and-white, but some color), and a good deal of in-depth analysis.

While a little on the dry side, this book is, nonetheless, a wonderfully informative look at these islands. The authors led a team from the University of Sheffield, which explored these islands for thirteen years, often performing the first archeological digs ever performed on them. If you are at all interested in the Outer Hebrides, then I highly recommend this book to you.
