Highland Folk Ways by I. F. Grant

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and well researched book. Isabel Grant did obvious wide-ranging work in producing this book. Having Highland ancestors myself, this book was able to add the right amount of information to help me to understand what these ancestors went through in the area between Loch Ness and Fort William.
I commend this book for reading to anyone seeking to do sensitive research into their Highland family tree.
