Katharine Stewart, who died in 2013, was one of Scotland’s
best-loved writers on rural life in the Highlands. A Croft in the
Hills, her first book, tells the story of how a couple and their
young daughter, fresh from city life, took over a remote hill croft
near Loch Ness and made a living from it. Full of warm personal
insights, good humour and a love of living things, it has become a
classic and has rarely been out of print since it was first
published in 1960. This omnibus gathers A Croft in the Hills
together with some of Katharine’s later books: A Garden in the
Hills, describing a year in the life of her Highland garden; A
School in the Hills, a vivid history of the school at Abriachan
which eventually became the Stewarts’ family home; and The Post
in the Hills, which tells the dramatic story of the postal service
in the Highlands, from the point of view of Katharine’s later
role as postmistress of the smallest post office in Scotland, run
from the porch of her Abriachan schoolhouse. Each of these books
glows with what Neil Gunn described as ‘its unusual quality, its
brightness and its wisdom’. The omnibus will bring the grace,
charm and wisdom of Katharine Stewart’s writing to a new
generation of readers.
