A Comprehensive Guide to the Growth of its Cities, Towns, and Villages.
Meticulously researched over three decades, this incredible - and extensively illustrated - collection of information is the first attempt to tell the complete story of Scotland in a single book since the great 19th century gazetteers.
Using a huge range of sources, Robin Smith has created a reference book packed with interest and surprises for the general reader, tracing the development of each community from earliest times to the present day - with particular emphasis on the great achievements of the industrial age and the economic forces which underpin any settlement.
This book is sure to become one of the "must-have" reference books for anyone with a real interest in Scotland.
