About this listen
A comprehensive and detailed look into the Scottish Highlands.
Alistair Moffat tells the extraordinary story of the Highlands in the most detailed book ever written about this remarkable part of Scotland.
This is the story of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland as it has never been told before. From the formation of the landscape millions of years ago to the twenty-first century, it brings to life the events and the people who have shaped Highland history, from saints, sinners, and outlaws to monarchs, clan chiefs, and warriors.
Highly informative, it mines a wide range of sources, including medieval manuscripts and sagas, poetry, and popular culture. Picts, Romans, Irish missionaries, Vikings, Jacobites, and the flood of emigrants who left to forge new lives abroad are just some of the important players in the drama. As he paints the bigger picture, Alistair Moffat also introduces many key aspects of Highland culture and explores the experience of ordinary Highlanders and Islanders over thousands of years.
