For over 30 years Peter Drummond has roamed Scottish fishing
harbours armed with at least one camera. Here then are the best
monochrome images taken over that period showing a wide variety of
vessel types ranging from former ring netters and drifter/seiners
through more modern designs to the latest 21st Century pelagic
vessels, with brief histories of the boats illustrated. Covering
waters around Scotland both east and west, from Kirkcudbright to
Mallaig and from Eyemouth to Burghead, as well as a detailed
appendix of vessels, this photographic collection is something
special for the maritime enthusiast.
This is a fascinating book about the origin, the meaning and the
pronunciation of the names of Scotland's hills. This book explains
the origin and the meaning of the names of Scotland's hills, as
well as how to pronounce them. It also brings together many of the
legends and stories behind particular hill names. This is a
thoroughly researched, completely revised and expanded second
edition which builds on the success of its predecessor - "Scottish
Hill and Mountain Names". Many new names are detailed, including a
significant increase in the coverage of Borders hill names and old
forms of many hill names from 17th and 18th century maps brought to
bear in explanations. The hills of Scotland are a significant part
of the landscape and the names of these hills reflect the rich
social and cultural history of Scotland over the past 500 years and
all who have been there. These names are a legacy of the past and
this book opens the door to this fascinating world.
