Soft cover. Etat : Very Good Plus. Margaret Fay Shaw (illustrateur). New Edition. 1998. xvi, 256pp. B&W illustrations. Contains new foreword. "This volume should provide a vigorous and realistic counterblast to the sentimental and impressionistic type of writing which has, unfortunately, become too much associated with books about the Hebrides. It gives a realistic description of life as it is and as it has been on an Outer Hebridean island during the last four hundred years. Its contains the accounts of travelers who visited the island at various times from 1549 to 1821; descriptions of Barra written by the local Church of Scotland ministers in 1794 and 1838; unpublished letters from the last two MacNeill lairds to the parish priest from 1805 to 1825; evidence given by Barra crofters and cottars to the Crofters' Commission in 1883; and other material. Local history, customs and topography, agriculture, fishing, and other industries at various periods are fully illustrated in these authentic accounts. Compton MacKenzie contributes a sketch of the religious history of the island, while J. L. Campbell describes Barra in the '45 and the literature of Barra." The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.
