Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 2013. 46pp. Colour illustrations. English and Gaelic text. "From the earliest mention of names in Lochaber in the time of St Columba, place-names reflect the flora, fauna and people who have inspired and been inspired by this region: from Ossianic legends, the work of Alasdair MacMhaighstir Alasdair, the Clearances, right up to nineteenth century local characters. Following on from the success of Place-names in Islay and Jura, Scottish Natural Heritage and Ainmean-Aite nah-Alba have once again collaborated to produce a work on the landscape and place-names of Arisaig and Loch Shiel, using in depth local knowledge and historical research. Many of these names have never appeared in print before." The book is in excellent condition. Minor shelfwear to corners and spine. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.
