A compendium of information on Scottish life, work, play and imagination. Over 400 alphabetical articles with over 3500 index entries. When The Companion appeared in 1981 it was hailed as a remarkable achievement: here was the first reference book to cover all the significant aspects of Scottish life, thought and imagination throughout history, with articles on individuals, movements and institutions. This new and completely revised edition takes in the events of the past decade which has seen a flowering of Scottish art, music and literature and a growing awareness that Scotland's rich and diverse culture has much to be celebrated for its distinctiveness. Over 400 articles range from childrens' street games to portrait painting, from eating habits to great industrialists, and from football to the Scottish Enlightenment.

Eigg, one of the islands of the Inner Hebrides off the West coast of Scotland, has an interesting history. Following the ownership battle for the island in 1997, this text tells the story of Eigg, from its earliest inhabitants to the present, detailing its recently-acquired independence and community ownership. The book draws extensively on oral history from the islanders themselves and from local archives, with stories of clans, pastimes, wartime, childhood and crofting.
