Publisher's Synopsis
Right across the world there are people who think of themselves as Scottish Highlanders, people who, though they may be separated from Scotland's hills and glens by many thousands of miles and several generations, still identify with this unique locality on the western edge of Europe. Examining their roots, their contribution to Scotland's evolution, their dispersal across the globe and the myths surrounding them, James Hunter sets out to explore and explain the passions and emotions surrounding the Scottish Highlanders.
