Originally published in 1980, this book examines the evolution of
the Scottish landscape from pre-historic times to the
mid-nineteenth century. It considers the way in which the
structural base of agriculture and the changing farming 'system'
came to alter the Scottish rural landscape. This book, with its
focus on the underlying landscape processes, gives a developmental
view of landscape change. It therefore considers the crucial
question of the rate and pace of landscape change and argues that
the Scottish landscape was not the product of a few brief phases of
quite rapid development but rather the result of a continual and
gradual process of change. It also looks at the regional variation
of landscape change and establishes the importance of regional
linkages in the diffusion of ideas especially in new technology.
