Description
The Small Isles: A Journey Through Time In the early days of human settlement in Scotland, hunter-gatherers arrived on four islands off the western seaboard, drawn by the newly emerged landscape. These islands, known as the Small Isles, were Rum, Eigg, Canna and Muck - distinctive shapes rising from the waters of the Inner Hebrides. Over time, people adapted to their environment, leaving behind a legacy of physical remains and written records. Archaeologist John Hunter explores this history in The Small Isles, uncovering stories of communities that were erased by mass migration and the rise of Victorian sporting estates. This comprehensive guide takes readers on a tour of both place and time, illustrated with photographs, maps and drawings. Through its wealth of evidence, The Small Isles reveals the complex history of these islands, where cultural identity was lost and traditions forgotten.
