Set Against The Awesome Splendour Of Some Of Scotland's Most Spectacular Scenery, Iain R. Thomson's Classic Book Provides A Sensitive, Richly Detailed Account Of The Shepherd's Life Through The Seasons And Recreates The Events That Shaped The Family's Life In Glen Strathfarrar Before The Area Was Flooded As Part Of A Huge Hydro-electric Project.
