5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous book on the Gaelic Garden of Eden, 9 Sep 2004
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Lewis-Harris, two isles in one...lol, one of the most beautiful, breathtaking places on earth. The vivid extremes of colours and landscapes just boggles the mind. Frankly, I did not think a slim book could really portray the soul inspiring beautiful so well, but Francis Thompson's Lewis & Harris does just that.

From the white sands, to the turquoise waters, the green rolling lands, to the jagged rocks, this island is mesmerising with this constantly changing beauty. If that is not enough you have Calanais (Callanish, the Stonehenge of the North). Sorry, Calanais is much older, and stirs the mind and soul in a way Stonehenge never did. When you toss in the other stone circles, Duncarloway broch, here history collides, Bronze Age, Iron age and good golfing!! lol

This is simply a beautiful work, loaded with dozens of brilliant colour photographs covering every aspect of life on Lewis and Harris. A must for someone daring enough to visit, a delight to those you like to visit from their armchair.

4.0 out of 5 stars lewis and harris history and pre history, 10 April 2009
By M. Cashill "me" (derbyshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lewis and Harris: History and Pre-history on the Western Edge of Europe (Paperback)
Despite the other two reviews, this book contains only the front page as a photograph. I bought it for ; 'This is simply a beautiful work, loaded with dozens of brilliant colour photographs covering every aspect of life on Lewis and Harris. A must for someone daring enough to visit, a delight to those you like to visit from their armchair. ' and there were none! Lewis and Harris History and pre-history is an informative book Im sure if I ever get round to reading it. God knows what book the others were reviewing, I think Amazon have mixed things upslightly so beware!
