2.0 out of 5 stars surplus to requirements, 25 May 2006

By	Gille Liath (Lancashire) - See all my reviews

Denis Rixson says he doesn't want this book to compete with the existing histories of the individual islands, but it's hard to say just what he does want it to do. He's obviously uneasily aware that this ground has already been swept clean, particularly by J.L. Campbell's excellent history of Canna.

The Small Isles have only become a distinct entity in recent times, so there's little to be gained by a unified history. But whatever could have been gained, isn't, because there's no attempt here to form a narrative - it's just a scrapbook of source material. And though there is definitely scope for someone to address the issue of the islands' future, he doesn't really do that either; merely hinting darkly that they are a waste of taxpayers' money.

You can only hope no public funds went towards producing this volume. Quite simply, it is superfluous.
