This is quite simply the best, the most detailed and authoritative history of the island yet written. Following the appearance of the first edition in 1930, the small print run sold out immediately, leaving those lucky enough to possess a copy, with an eagerly sought after, and invaluable source of knowledge on the Isle of Skye.  Now, a second edition of this enduring work has been prepared in a newly revised and extensively enlarged form, to include references, bibliographical sources and appendices, full translations of Gaelic texts and numerous illustrations. This magisterial survey of an island and its people is once again available to all whose lives have been touched by its landscape and traditions.
