Publisher's Synopsis
The 'Lost' Village of Lawers.
Just below the modern A827 between Kenmore and Killin lies the 'lost' and abandoned village of Lawers. Less than a mile from the modern road lie the ruins of Lawers, forgotten for a century, and hidden from modern scrutiny. Yet the ancient settlement of Lawers has not only witnessed many important events in Perthshire's history, but was reputedly home to a famous and mysterious lady, the enigmatic 'Lady of Lawers'.
Following the success of the first edition, author Mark Bridgeman has uncovered new documentation, lost for almost 200 years, which sheds further light on the mysterious 'Lady'. Coupled with extensive updates, revisions, and additional images, including the oldest known photograph of the village, this new edition helps throw further light on the nearly 1,000-year history of this remarkable and untouched 'lost' village.
Since this title's original publication, Mark Bridgeman (author of The River Runs Red and Footsteps at Finlarig), has sold out three complete print runs of the book, has appeared on both ITV, BBC Radio, and at numerous events discussing the magical tale of the abandoned village.
As the village enters a new chapter in its existence, Mark remains as passionate as ever about preserving the historical legacy of the site, and in telling its remarkable tale.
