Reviews
'...a richly detailed and sometimes idiosyncratic account of the growth of planned towns in the late 18th- and 19th- century Highlands. ...is concerned not only with the origins, purpose and development of these Georgian planned settlements, but it also addresses their subsequent fortunes and legacy. ...should also prove attractive to the general reader, as well as students and academics alike. Each settlement is well-researched and written up... ...a wonderful addition to our knowledge and understanding of the built aspects of Islay... ...is well designed and well presented. ...represents good value for money. ...contains much original research and is full of Gordon Haynes' own refreshing views and opinions... ...a good reference book, offering something of use for each of the individual settlements included in it'. History Scotland -------------------- 'The author has industriously assembled a great deal of information, both of the general background to the Highlands and of the history of each settlement up to the present day'. Am Bratach -------------------- '...an important part of the story of Scotland, and fascinating background for any visitor... Gordon Haynes is to be congratulated... has produced a book of lasting value. ...a book we know will be referring to time and again in the future... This is a book that should be read by anyone living in or visiting the large swathe of Scotland it covers'. Undiscovered Scotland
