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

The book offers a detailed, illustrated portrait of a north-west Highland parish, combining topographical and natural-history descriptions with antiquarian research, local genealogy, and oral traditions. It documents landowners and families, ecclesiastical and civic institutions, schools, roads and industries, and investigates remnants such as ironworks and crannogs. Several specialists contribute chapters on geology, folklore, and chemistry, while collected songs, legends, and a glossary preserve Gaelic material. Practical guidance for visitors, lists of flora and fauna, and historical records are interwoven with anecdotes and maps to serve both the curious tourist and the local historian.
