Description
Angus Martin's Kintyre: The Hidden Past is a social history of the people who lived in the south-western peninsula of Argyll, Scotland. First published in 1984, this book has become a significant work in its field.
The author draws on a wide range of sources to explore the evolution of Kintyre's population from the fifth century AD to the present day. He examines the cultural legacies of Gaelic, Lowlander and Irish settlers, as well as the darker aspects of social history such as disease, poverty and crime.
Martin also delves into the lives of Irish immigrant families, the anglicisation of native surnames, and the surviving Gaelic elements in the local dialect. This is a detailed and nuanced study that sheds new light on the complex history of Kintyre.
