A very interesting account of the lives of the crofters of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Describes the hardship these people went through at the hands of evil landlords and factors, famines and the "clearances" when many were dispossessed of the land that rightly was theirs but held in trust by their clan chiefs. This is an enlightened insight into their culture, their houses, their food and medicine but more importantly their psyche and spirit. If you think you've ever had it hard reading this book might put things into perspective. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In its short lifetime of 100 years, the crofting system of landholding has had profound effects upon Scotland. In this book, the author presents vivid descriptions of crofting life, past and present, in a deeply-researched social history. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
