"The Highland Cause is an account of one man's struggle to restore to highlanders and islanders an historic right-the right to belong to the land from which their ancestors had been cleared. .Roderick MacFarquhar (1908-1989) was well lenown for many years in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland as Secretary of The Highland Fund, an exceptional institution that provided financial aid to crotters, fishermen and small business people on the basis of their character. ? He was a man who enjoyed life to the fullest and took pleasure in the company of others. This disposition attracted him to the great issues of his time: the General Strike of 1926, the fight against fascism, first in Spain and later in World War II, the postwar campaign for nuclear disarmament and, above all, the redevelopment of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. .His approach to the redevelopment of the Highlands and Islands was unique, daring, and exemplary. Timid and unsympathetic governments at Westminster merely strengthened his resolve to right an ancient wrong. He leaves a legacy of proposals for redevelopment which remains controversial and shines with promise." Book in excellent condition. No inscriptions. Seller Inventory # HighlandsEtc043
