Description

Dumfries and Galloway is one of the least-known regions of Scotland.

Despite memories and traditions to match those of Gaelic-speaking Scotland, it has been seriously understudied.

This innovative, ground-breaking study looks mainly at the everyday lives and culture of people in this region during a period of profound agricultural, industrial and demographic change.

In doing so, it uncovers new information about a wide range of topics in local history, including food, festivals and folklore, music, mining, the development of towns and villages, population, smuggling, the experience of migration, and the question of identity.

All of the contributors to the book are specialists in their fields and have an in-depth knowledge of the region through life and work.
