Description
This book takes a nostalgic journey through the Highlands of Scotland, tracing the evolution of the region's main thoroughfares over time. From the Great North Road to the North Coast 500, vintage and contemporary images bring to life the changes that have shaped travel in the Highlands.
Illustrated with old picture postcards and other images, the book offers a unique perspective on the region's history and culture. The author's affectionate tribute showcases the beautiful scenery and way of life that has defined the Highlands for centuries.
With a focus on the impact of the twentieth-century transport revolution, this lavishly illustrated book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of travel and the people who have shaped the region's identity.
