Gairloch in North-West Ross-Shire
Its Records, Traditions, Inhabitants, and Natural History, with a Guide to Gairloch and Loch Maree, and a Map and Illustrations
Gairloch in North-West Ross-Shire, published in 1886, is John H. Dixon's portrait of a remote Highland parish on the west coast of Scotland, written with contributions from several specialists. The first part gathers the records and traditions of Gairloch: its antiquities, the clan feuds of the Mackenzies and MacLeods, legends, and stories of local bards, pipers and notable families. The second describes the inhabitants and their way of life, the third the natural history of the district, its geology, plants, birds and fishes, and the fourth is a guide for visitors to Gairloch and Loch Maree. A glossary explains the Gaelic place names, and the book remains a valuable source on Highland life and lore. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
