Description
Cattle on a Thousand Hills by Katharine Stewart offers an insightful look at the social history and colourful customs associated with tending cattle in Highland Scotland. Drawing from the author's own experiences, this book explores the integral role of cattle in the economy, ecology, and culture of Highland life. The legacy of these animals and their keepers has endured through stories, paintings, and songs, despite many being abandoned in favour of sheep walks and deer forests. This account is populated by legendary figures, mighty beasts, and characters larger than life, providing a rich tapestry of the past. As Katharine Stewart's book reveals, the revival of cattle and traditional practices could pave the way for truly sustainable agriculture practices, crucial to the fate of the planet.
