Product Description
Dr William Taylor in "Scots Independent"
""The Light in the Glens" is a fitting memorial to a couthy subject. It presents facts, but presents them in a meaningful and colourful way. The appendixes are not just something stuck on at the end. They embellish the text, and along with the author's thoughtful Epilogue are compulsory reading. The book is tastefully produced and the illustrations and diagrams are in keeping with the quality of the text. The puffer has gone, but it will never be forgotten. It is preserved in fact and legend by Len Paterson and Neil Munro, and like the story of Scotland there need be no dichotomy between the two concepts."
Book Description
The fascinating account of the puffer trade from its roots in the 1850s to its controversial and sudden demise in 1993 - written by one who was there. A wealth of illustrations show how the puffer evolved from a horse-drawn canal scow and went on to replace the sailing gabberts in bringing vital supplies to the people of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The story includes details of the everyday life of the puffers and their crews.
