When it was first published in 1987, this picture of the lives of
country folk from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth
completed a trilogy on the history and culture of the author's
native Kintyre. The material, from both oral and written sources,
tells of everyday lives - working the land, raising livestock,
building and furnishing homes, finding fuel and preparing food and
celebrating special days. There are also accounts of
sheep-stealing, shinty battles, and violent encounters between
excise-men and the distillers - and smugglers - of illicit whisky.
Illustrated with maps of the peninsula and photographs and
reproductions taken or collected by the author.
