Description

The story of Mull, Scotland's most beautiful and visited island, has never been told in such depth. This book reveals the lives of the people who actually lived there - landlords, tacksmen, cottars, and others - through rare documents and previously unpublished pictures. Research into a vast archive of correspondence and other records has uncovered a unique history that differs from the pattern seen elsewhere in Scotland. The emigration of Mull's native population during the 18th and 19th centuries was not driven by clearance, but rather by deteriorating relationships between social classes and economic change. A fascinating and humorous account of Hebridean history, this book is lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished pictures, making it a valuable addition to anyone interested in Scottish history.
