Crofts and Crofting by Katharine Stewart
Crofting is a particularly Scottish way of managing the land that is breathing new life into the Highland glens. This work describes how crofting has evolved. It is a guide to the history, working methods and future outlook for a unique way of life.
'.. shows how this unique way of life has a future again.' Scottish Field 'It is crammed full of a lifetime's thinking and gathering, and will be a worthy addition to the library of anybody who believes that crofting had a past filled with value and can have a bright future.' The Shetland Times 'A revised and much-expanded edition of an expert consideration of how crofting has evolved over the years.' The Scots Magazine
Katharine Stewart lived on a croft with her husband and daughter for many years. Her experiences during this period of her life were recounted in A Croft in the Hills. She has since helped to set up a crofting museum next to her home near Loch Ness. Among her other books are A Garden in the Hills, describing the life of her garden during the course of a year, and A School in the Hills, about the schoolhouse in which she lives and the way in which the children of the Highlands have been educated over the years.
