This is the classic book on the ancient customs, crafts and
techniques of the Scottish Highlands. The past is evoked with a
fascinating blend of historical narrative and detail, with
descriptions of the fireplaces and furniture, the creels and cas
chroms which were a vital part of everyday life in the Highland
communities, but which have now become strange in the modern world
of machinery and technology. Highland Folk Ways vividly describes
the many aspects and artefacts of our ancestors' lives; the
clothes, cooking utensils, weapons, food and the implements for
fishing, farming and building are all meticulously depicted and
placed in historical context. The book has over 70 illustrations,
and is surely the definitive resource book for everyone who wants
to rediscover the lifestyle of the clansmen and crofters.
