Jimmie Macgregor's Scotland by Jimmie Macgregor
In characteristically relaxed and humorous style, Jimmie Macgregor offers a personal impression of a small country which was European long before Europeanism was fashionable, and whose people have exerted an influence on the developing world which has been vastly disproportionate to their numbers. The reader is taken back to Macgregor's tenement childhood and his early ventures into the Scottish countryside. The author draws on a lifetime's experience of travel in Scotland, as a youthful hill-walker and camper, as a touring folk musician, and later as a maker of radio and television programmes. The book is divided into seven sections and looks at Scotland as a whole, with a further look at the main regions, evoking not just the history and traditions of the country, but its essence. His love and knowledge of the natural world and his concern for its welfare is evident, as is his interest in the people, both the celebrated and the unknown.| SKU | Unavailable |
