Paperback. Condition: New. Dr Isabel Grant (1887-1983) was a pioneer who, early in life, was intrigued by the lives and ways of living of her fellow Highlanders. She eventually pursued this by collecting objects - farming, fishing, crofting and domestic - from across the Scottish Highlands and presenting them to the public, initially as an exhibition in Inverness in 1930, then in Iona, and later in a dedicated museum Am Fasgadh ('the Shelter'). The tenacity shown by Dr Grant in pursuit of an idea that first struck her while on a childhood visit to Sweden is revealed in her own words. In the face of indifference, little money, sexism and the erratic Scottish climate, Dr Grant succeeded in presenting items which told of the working and home lives of the people she so admired. Am Fasgadh continues today as the popular Highland Folk Museum at Kingussie and Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, Scotland.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Dusrjacket has edgewear and some small chips along the seams - see image. Protected in a Mylar sleeve. ; Book and dustjacket are in excellent conditon - exception noted. The old Lordship of the Isles is largely a land of mystery. Contemporary Lowland historians said as little as they could about the great Western Lords whose dominions at the time of their greatest power covered the whole of the Western Isles. This work is somewhat unusual, for it is both a history and a travel guide through the old Lordship of the Isles by one of the most interesting and innovative historians of the 20th century. Dr. Isabel Grant has ranked high among the historians who specialised in the Celtic/Viking world of western Scotland. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 514 pages.…
