In this book he records a world of local legend, folklore and
superstition, and charts the changes he saw in his lifetime in
agriculture, education, the Church and, of course, emigration. He
recounts the history of the leading families of Skye and also the
lives and experiences of the crofters, for whose rights he actively
campaigned in the 1880s. Old Skye Tales is a unique and valuable
record, written by a man of intelligence and sensitivity, whose
life spanned both the traditional and the modern world. As well as
containing a large amount of information of the geography of the
island (particularly the north), there are also important sections
on crofting, the Church, as well as local superstitions, sayings,
second sight and even local characters of his time. An entertaining
and witty book, Old Skye Tales is a marvellous resource for the
historian, as well as a fascinating compendium for all those who
love one of Scotland's most famous islands. It is one of the most
important sources for the history of the island.
