Product Description

Synopsis
This is a book about a search for a sense of the past, looking at old days and old ways; hoping, perhaps, to find a whisper of those 'voices on the braes'. This is the story of the vanished peoples and communities of the Northeast; of people and places whose lives, achievements and traditions are today on the very edge of memory. Through Deeside, Donside, Strathavon and beyond, Bob Smith searches out the deserted and forgotten villages and clachans which lay throughout the area and whose rich history is now often simply commemorated by anonymous ruins set deep in remote glens. First published in 1997, Land of the Lost was an instant success. This new edition has been expanded by almost half to incorporate chapters on the glens south of Strathdon, the area around Belnagauld and the Bunzeach, Mulloch Hill, the track known as the Pollach Road, the fermtouns around Monymusk, and the area around Foudland. It also includes numerous rare archive photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost but not forgotten, 16 Jul 2008
This review is from: The Land of the Lost: Exploring the North-east's Vanished Townships (Paperback)
This book deals with the abandoned villages, farms, and crofts in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This topic could easily fill a number of thick volumes, but 'Bob' manages to give us 'the big picture' in an easily digestible 146 pages. By necessity it's little more than a summary, but for the most part the lack of detail is handled well, and we're left with a fairly clear picture of these 'lost' communities, and their inhabitants. It's a good starting-point into this fascinating topic, and I recommended it as such.
