Book Description
Excerpt from A Short History of the Scottish Highlands and Isles A short history should have a brief Preface, and a few words will suffice to explain the purpose and scope of the present work. No complete history of the Highlands, issued at a popular price and in a compact form, has yet been published. It is believed that a book of that description will serve a purpose which the existing histories do not claim to fulfil, and will appeal to a considerable body of readers whom the larger and more expensive works on the subject fail to reach. In that belief, and with that object, the present volume has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Highlands and Islands of Scotland IN Bonnie Scotland was promised a further volume that should be devoted to the sterner and wilder aspects of Caledonia. That book dealt with the main body of Highlands and Lowlands, more familiar to the gentle tourist for whose patronage it was a candidate. This one, whose title might have been qualified as West Highlands, deals with the less visited side that is still Highland indeed, both in ruder natural features and in a life holding out longer against the trimming and taming Of Sassenach intromissions. The author, as before, has tried to weave a pattern Of entertaining stripes and checks upon a groundwork Of information. All making a darker - hued tartan than is worn in the centre of Bonnie Scotland. Another metaphor would put it that he has prepared a brisk, perhaps frothy, but, it is hoped, not unpalatable, brew Of heather - ale, which contains in solution more solid ingredients than may be manifest to every reader.
