4.0 out of 5 stars Evocative and moving, 2 Jan 2010
By Jazaque (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of the North Coast (Paperback)
When I was in my teens, I set off on (what was to me) an epic cycle tour of the North West Highlands of Scotland. I was surprised to find, amongst this wild scenery, a fine little bookshop at a place called Inverkircaig. On flicking through this book I was immediately struck by how these tales were so appropriate for my journey as they conveyed the feeling, the atmosphere, the people, and the land I was travelling through. You can easily picture the children at the time relating the stories told by their elders and the book is charmingly illustrated by them. It is not of course a travel book but rather a collection of ways of life, mysteries, hardships, fairy tales, history, and curiosities. A wonderful book which gave such resonance to my exploratory travels back in 1977 (when the book was first published). Being the book it is, the writing has no sense of being 'outdated' and still reads equally well today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A biased report, 26 Jun 2009
This review is from: Tales of the North Coast (Paperback)
As a former pupil of Farr Secondary School on the North coast of Scotland, I was one of those responsible for helping to gather and write up these tales. I remember that it was really fascinating talking to the old people and listening to them retell these stories that have been handed down generation by generation. Published in the 70's, hopefully this book will help to continue that tradition.
