Islay, Jura and Colonsay : A Historical Guide, Paperback / softback Book

Islay, Jura and Colonsay : A Historical Guide Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The story of Islay, Jura and Colonsay is one of the most fascinating amongst all the Hebrides.

They have had substantial human occupation since earliest times and man has left many relics across the islands, from tools and artefacts of mesolithic times to the modern-day distilleries of Islay and Jura.

From the period in-between survive chambered cairns, iron age forts, magnificent early crosses, enigmatic carvings, early monasteries, relics of the Lordship of the Isles, deserted townships and shielings, planned villages, corn mills, kelp kilns and lead mines and much else besides. Far more than a gazetteer, this book is based on a great deal of intensive primary research and local knowledge and is essential reading for local and tourist alike.
