Thus Erskine Beveridge opens his classic account of the archaeology and topography of North Uist, the island where he spent much of his life. Published in a limited edition in 1911 the book fetched extraordinary prices in the antiquarian market. The book was reprinted as a limited edition in 1999 by Birlinn and these are the last few copies of this reprint. The range and quality of Beveridge's work was not surpassed until the most recent series of Royal Commission inventories of the 1970s and 1980s and it is all the more extraordinary that this level of expertise and range of knowledge should be combined in one individual. Adding to the fascination of the book are more than 150 plates showing the island and its sites in a condition from which many have greatly changed.   With sections from earliest times to the post Reformation times, sections on clan history, climate, topography, place names and much else besides, this is not simply the most important book ever written on North Uist but one of the finest works of scholarship ever produced on a Hebridean island.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49680771776785,"sku":"GOR002629622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50938350502161,"sku":"GOR010025241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184158164X.jpg?v=1751442289"},{"product_id":"north-uist-book-erskine-beveridge-9781912476145","title":"North Uist","description":"A stranger, upon landing at Lochmaddy – the principal harbour of North Uist – is apt to receive an unfavourable impression from the vast expanse of bogs occupying its east side, which is also absolutely treeless and relieved only by a few hills of no great elevation and by the tortuous recesses of salt water lochs penetrating its seaboard.

The result of painstaking research undertaken in the last years of the 19th century, it was first published privately with a limited print run in 1903. Since then it has remained an extremely rare and much sought-after book.    This is its first modern republication. Starting with a general introduction to the history of the islands, Beveridge goes on to discuss in turn the domestic, pre-Christian and Christian sites of each, together with the discoveries that were found in them. The author also provides sections on clan history and the Norwegian occupation of the Hebrides. The book includes a detailed map indicating all the sites referred to in the text and seventy illustrations that provide a fascinating documentation of the archaeological remains of the islands before the ravages of the 20th century took their toll.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49979701625105,"sku":"GOR011766639","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1912476037.jpg?v=1751428032"},{"product_id":"bibliography-of-works-relating-to-dunfermline-and-the-west-of-fife-book-erskine-beveridge-9781142159177","title":"A Bibliography of Works Relating to Dunfermline and the West of Fife","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A Bibliography of Works Relating to Dunfermline and the West of Fife\" by Erskine Beveridge is a meticulously compiled catalogue of publications pertaining to the rich history and cultural heritage of Dunfermline and the western region of Fife, Scotland.
