About this Item

1989. ix, 101pp. B&W illustrations. The book is in excellent condition with no inscriptions, and all contents are tight and clean. "A large part of the story of people in this case, farmfolk and fisherfolk is to be found in the story of their homes. Much of this book is devoted to accounts of the changes and developments in the housing of the rural communities of northern Scotland-in new crofts, planned villages and fishing settlements, mostly designed to house laborers, craftsmen, merchants and fisher-men and thus aid economic development. Essays in this collec-tion chart the creation and growth of such settlements, while interesting background is provided by essays on the growth of rural industry and on the evolution of agricultural implementations in the area.".
