Mr Hills Big Picture by John Fowler
A snapshot of the single most important moment in 19th-century Scottish history. This book is based on an extraordinary painting by David Octavius Hill of the Disruption a now half-forgotten schism in the Church that was so divisive in Scottish society and so explosive that it shaped Scotland as we know it today.
"a comprehensive and highly readable account.. We learn much about the times, the context both political and religious, and particularly the struggles to establish the new Free Kirk. A great yarn with plenty of dramatic and often very touching moments." -- Studies in Photography, 2006
"I recommend this book and hope it encourages its readers to explore further the rich literature of the nineteenth century." -- Iain D. Gill, The Monthly Record
