Custom and Conflict in the Land of the Gael: Ballachulish, 1900-1910
Neville Kirk
Unearthing events that have barely been covered in recently published records, this account examines the conflicts of a remote Scottish Highland community located in Glencoe during the 1900s, bringing to light a broad spectrum of social and economic concerns, including a remarkable willingness to fight for principles and the welfare of friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Exploring a wide range of experiences and loyalties, this history compares successes, failures, and compromisesthat definethe historiographical significance ofthis forgotten land and discusses how the actions and beliefs of this community can be used in a wider study of modern social protest movements.””
