The author weaves his own humorous and perceptive account of crofting with extracts from his father's journal - a terse, factual and down to earth vision of the day-to-day tasks of crofting life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is an unusual and memorable story that also illuminates the shifting, often tortuous relationships between children and their parents. Alasdair Maclean reveals his own struggle to come to terms with his background and the isolated community he left so often and to which he returned again and again. In this isolated community is seen a microcosm of something central to Scottish identity - the need to escape against the tug of home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiscover the twilight of a crofting family on Ardnamurchan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExplore the end of a traditional way of Highland life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngage with a moving account of rural change\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRead another celebrated title from Origin - an imprint of Birlinn Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Reviews --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'funny, moving, and full of intriguing factual knowledge - Scots magazine'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nAlasdair Maclean left school at fourteen to work in the Clydeside shipyards.
