Read of warring clans and troubled times for the crofters in the 19th century. Eleven chapters take the reader through a journey beginning in the earliest geological period, and then via Ice Ages, Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages into present times. The landscape shows evidence of their presence while local legends and place names provide intriguing glimpses of their lives. The stories and main characters are fictional but have been thoroughly researched to provide accuracy and authenticity. Important historical people appear within the text. Each story is preceded by an illustration drawn by the writer and the site of each is pinpointed on an introductory map.
