Product Description

Review

"Jura, the most rugged of the Hebrides, is reckoned to be about thirty-four miles long, and in general ten broad, except along the sound of Ilay: is composed chiefly of vast mountains, naked and without the possibility of cultivation... this island is ill peopled, and does not contain above seven or eight hundred inhabitants, having been a little thinned by epidemic migrations The quadrupeds of Jura are about a hundred stags... The stags must here have been once more numerous, for the original name of the island was Deiry, or the isles of deer, so called by the Norwegians from the abundance of those noble animals. Thomas Pennant, 1772 'exhaustively comprehensive... reads fascinatingly' - The Herald


Product Description

This work surveys Jura, one of the largest of the Inner Hebrides. The barrenness of Jura's landscape has meant that it has always had a smaller population than its neighbours, and was often overlooked in affairs of the times. However, Jura had its part to play through the centuries and, perhaps because of its isolation, it has a fascinating story to tell of Campbell domination, of the hardships endured by its people and of it contribution to emigration. Youngson not only presents the broad sweep of the island's history, from the Mesolithic period to the present day, but also focuses on other aspects, such as Jura's natural history and geography and the legends, poetry and song produced by its inhabitants.
