OUTER HEBRIDES: A HISTORICAL GUIDE

Culturally distinct from early prehistory, the Western Isles contain a wealth of historical and archaeological monuments, including the standing stones at Callanish, the magnificent St Clement's church at Rodel, and numerous brochs, castles, croft houses and industrial and military buildings. In addition to descriptions of key sites and gazetteers covering every place of historical interest, this book traces the development of the modern environment and landscape of the islands, enabling the visitor to appreciate the sites within their historical and cultural context.
