Calum I. MacLean

The Highlands

Buch

Of the books written on the Scottish Highlands, many have been penned by outsiders with only the most superficial knowledge of Gaelic culture and language. In this new edition of his classic work, the late Calum I. Maclean, a Gaelic-speaking Highlander, interprets the traditions, culture, and ways of life of his native land. He is concerned not so much with places, beauty spots, or scenery as with the Highlanders themselves in their own self-created environment. Writing largely of individuals, Maclean makes clear why Highland culture is unique in the world--and if lost, could never be recovered or recreated.

Über den Autor


Alfred Walter Stewart (1880-1947), who wrote under the pen name J. J. Connington, was born in Glasgow, the youngest of three sons of Reverend Dr Stewart. He graduated from Glasgow University and pursued an academic career as a chemistry professor, working for the Admiralty during the First World War. Known for his ingenious and carefully worked-out puzzles and in-depth character development, he was admired by a host of his better-known contemporaries, including Dorothy L. Sayers and John Dickson Carr, who both paid tribute to his influence on their work. He married Jessie Lily Courts in 1916 and they had one daughter.
