A Hundred Years in the Highlands (Paperback, New edition)

Born in 1842, MacKenzie provides a fascinating look at the harsh life of late 19th century Scotland. He vividly recalls the effects of the great famine of 1846-48 on the most remote areas of the western Highlands. He not only unveils one of the bleakest periods of modern Highland history, but also proclaims the inner strength of the Highland peoples and reveals the inspiration for his own accomplishments in personally creating the magnificent gardens at Inverewe -- Wester Ross -- now cared for by the National Trust for Scotland.
