Summary:
By means of a series of first-person narratives, this book tells the story of the spirit of individuals and communities. Every story told is associated with a Scottish community that no longer exists or has been changed beyond recognition. Tackling Scotland's history of war, clearance and change in many lost communities, this book offers the reader a glimpse of stories, poems and songs as a blend of reminiscence and oral tradition from the lost small communities of the Cairngorms, Speyside, Glen Roy, Deeside and Easter Ross.
