Excerpt from Two Months in the Highlands, Orcadia, and Skye Highlands. Sporting Quarters - Where i' the Wild: of Caithness? Round Sutherland P The Hebrides 1' IT was J uly - the July of 1859, and the fierce mid summer sun, which had been for weeks parchin g, broil irig, and blistering all London, had set when, while I was sitting with doors and windows wide Open, a familiar friend entered the room. As usual at this time of the year, my thoughts had been running on a holiday ramble, and visions of unvisited continental cities and lands were before me, when my friend gave a new current to my ideas, by announcing that the purpose of his visit was to ask me to join a shooting and fishing party in the Highlands.

The Great Hunger in nineteenth-century Ireland was a major human tragedy of modern times. Almost a million perished and a further two million emigrated in the wake of potato blight and economic collapse. Acute famine also gripped the Scottish Highlands at the same time, causing misery, hardship and distress. The story of that lesser known human disaster is told in this prize-winning and internationally acclaimed book. The author describes the classic themes of highland and Scottish history, including the clearances, landlordism, crofting life, emigration and migration in a subtle and intricate reconstruction based on a wide range of sources. This book should appeal to all those with an interest in Scottish history, the emigration of Scottish people and the Highland Clearances.

An exploration of the history of the sixty-mile, Scottish Highland canal and its significance to the region’s transportation and tourism. Thomas Telford’s plan, to connect Loch Ness, Loch Oich, and Loch Lochy with each other and the sea, was a huge undertaking that brought civil engineering to the Highlands on a heroic scale. Deep in the Highlands, far from the canal network of England, engineers forged their way through the Great Glen to construct the biggest canal of its day: twenty-two miles of artificial cutting and no fewer than twenty-eight locks. A.D. (Sandy) Cameron’s book has long been recognized as the authoritative work on the canal as well as a reliable and useful guide to the surrounding area. There are intriguing old plans, not discovered until 1992, and a survey of the dramatic rise in pleasure-craft traffic during the last two decades. But the highlight of the recent past was undoubtedly the Tall Ships passing through the canal in stately procession in 1991. Impossible, then, not to feel the fascination of this beautiful waterway: a working piece of industrial history and a remarkable engineering achievement. This book is a fitting celebration of this remarkable feat of engineering.
