Highland roots
the real story of one highland cottage
by Gordon Waddell
"Highland roots is the real story of one Highland cottage through Scotland's turbulent history. It is a blend of history, archeology, estate records, literature and legend too. It includes a lot of original quotes that give a genuine flavor of the times. But what was it like to live here? In the Iron Age, when the Romans came, when Picts fought Gaels in the birth of a nation, in the Wars of Independence, through the Improvements and the Clearances? Can you imagine trying to scrape a living from this land? How did people live and raise a family here before roads or schools or health care? What was history really like for the ordinary people who had to live through it? This is the real story of your Scottish roots. Essential background to family history" -- Publisher's description.
