Product Description

In this book, the castles of Hebridean myth and story are brought to life in a scholarly yet easy-to-read text. Roger Miket explores the history and architecture of the settings associated with blood-curdling dramas such as the murderous goings-on at Dun Sgaith or the far-fetched yarns of Saucy Mary and Cu Chulainn. Many of the castles are shown in reconstruction and all the architectural descriptions are fully illustrated making them clear to both expert and amateur historians. Together with the earlier broachs and duns, the castles are the principal material survivals of the great pageant of Hebridean history.

By	Alexander J. Nicoll "sgorrybrec" (boston, ma usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellant book giving history of clans and owners of places. Also a lot of information on construction, past uses of sites, and there alterations through the ages. Well illustrated but not overly so.
