Changing Identities, Ancient Roots by Ian Brown

Changing Identities, Ancient Roots by Ian Brown

This history uses a regional basis to examine large-scale issues through specific local and regional events.

Even as a boy growing up in the Vale of Leven in the 1940s and 50s I was aware of the complex, almost contradictory culture to which I belongedWhat I did not realise, because I never took the trouble to find out, was the rich historical background to the place I took so much for granted. Now I realise that West Dunbartonshire was a story waiting to be told. At last, in this volume, it has been told, and told with passion and eloquence. West Dunbartonshire should be proud of this achievement, and it should take heart from its rich and turbulent past as it navigates itself into the future. -- Richard Holloway, former Professor of Divinity at Gresham Coll London and Bishop of Edinburgh, presently Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council and FRSE.
