This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History and Traditions of the Isle of Skye is a rare insight into the history of Scotland's most magical isles. Written by historian Alexander Cameron about his native island this volume offers a front row seat to the poetry, drama and turmoil of Skye and the surrounding isles' history. Cameron takes a voyage through time from the original Neolithic inhabitants and the profound markers they left on the landscape to the state of the region in the 19th Century. The ancient inhabitants and their struggles with Norsemen and the elements are documented within this book but nearer history is far from neglected. Whilst the isles around and including Skye are remote, this has not kept them from being powerful playing pieces, used in games between the great leaders of Clans and English houses. Raids, royal entreaties and questionable romance have touched these islands and this book renders those events tangible for the reader through the judicious use of traditional poetry and legend highlighted alongside historical detail. Cameron starts from the Poems of Ossian in the third century and discusses all the major events that touched the island up until the 1800s. It is a twisting tale worthy of any drama, from the druids and Danes to the daring rescue of Bonnie Prince Charlie by Flora MacDonald, and other less famous but equally fascinating episodes. The work is written in a period style, and the modern reader will be drawn in by its engaging character and the accuracy with which the author expresses the human stories caught up in Skye's political winds. Of particular interest to genealogists, the final section of the book notes the names, families and brief biographies of a number of military men from Skye who had distinguished service records. Skye has been the home of brave people of all kinds for many generations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Traditions of the Isle of Skye It is somewhat remarkable that though nearly a century has elapsed since the writing of a history of the Isle of Skye was proposed by no less literary authority than Dr Samuel Johnson, who promised to revise the proposed work, no person has hitherto undertaken the task. This circumstance, coupled with the frequently expressed desire for such a history, and the fact that many of the interesting traditions of the island were fast passing into oblivion, induced me to devote brief intervals of leisure to collecting historical notes and traditions delating to Skye, and arranging them in the piesent form, which is published at the solicitation of several friends, and as a tribute to my nativa island I only regret that the performance of the task I undertook, though laborious on account of the scattered and scanty sources of information, is not more worthy of the subject. It may be here stated that some of the earlier chapters of the volume were contributed by me about two years since to the columns of the Inverness Advertiser, and that since their publication in that newspaper they have been considerably altered and extended.

Download or read book Skye written by Otta F. Swire and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2006-06-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fabulous treasury of legend and wonder; tales of monsters who dwell in lakes, of small people who trap humans in earthen mounds where time stands still; of dark, shape- shifting spirits whose cloak of human form is betrayed by the sand and shells which fall from their hair. In the absence of a written tradition, for generations of Skianachs, these tales, handed down orally, contained the very warp and weft of Hebridean history. They take us far beyond Christian times, to the edge of the Iron Age, and interweave with threads from the wider Atlantic tradition of Gaelic heroic myth and legend.
