About the Ebook
Occupying the southernmost part of the largest of the Western Isles, Harris boasts some of the most ruggedly beautiful and unspoilt landscape in Scotland.
In this book, Bill Lawson, who has lived on Harris for many years, not only introduces the reader to the events that have shaped the island's history, but also dips into the local legends, traditions and tales, as well as his own personal reminiscences. The result is a unique insight into Harris and the life and industry of its people through the ages.
