Synopsis

Some names are so closely linked with historical events that they almost become one and the same. One such is Allan MacRae, who, along with a small group of fellow crofters, led to victory the ground-breaking Assynt Crofters Trust land buy-out. Allan MacRae s unique character was informed by the Highland Clearances, staunch Presbyterianism and, extraordinarily, the London music hall. Judith Napier's biography explores the life of a remarkable man stonemason, orator, athlete, campaigning writer, but above all a crofter who cared deeply for his beloved Assynt. Shortlisted for The Highland Book Prize 2018.
