About This Book

A detailed county geography presents the region's physical character, mapping its surface, rivers, lochs, geology and soils, and describing climate and natural history. It surveys coastal features, agriculture, notable industries such as granite working, fisheries, paper and wool manufacture, and shipping. Chapters discuss population, language, local administration, transport networks and economic patterns, and trace historical developments and archaeological remains including stone circles and castles. Architectural types—ecclesiastical, castellated, municipal and domestic—receive illustrated attention, and the book includes maps, diagrams and photographs to support practical description and local topography.
