Memoirs of a Highland Lady

“Memoirs of a Highland Lady” is one of the most famous memoirs ever written. Since its first bowdlerised edition in 1898, it has been consistently in print. This is the first ever complete text. Written between 1845 and 1854 the memoirs were originally intended simply for Elizabeth’s family, but these vivid and inimitable records of life in the early nineteenth century, and above all of the great Rothiemurchus estate – full of sharp observation and wit – form an unforgettable picture of her time.
