Atholl and Gowrie: A Historical Guide

A unique combination of illustrated guidebook and engrossing narrative, this is a chronological history of Atholl and Gowrie from prehistoric times to the present day, including maps of the district and site plans. Both areas are extremely rich in archaeology and this guide takes in the full range from neolithic cairns to medieval palaces, from industrial workers’ cottages to Roman fortresses. A full gazetteer combines with the narrative to produce a definitive history of this beautiful part of Scotland, on the boundary of Highland and Lowland, that has played such a full part in Scotland’s history.
