Description

Great Book of Skye Publishing, 2025. 178 pages. Paperback.

Building on his recent book Travels in Another Country, this 178 page guide to Skye by Coinneach Maclean takes a deeper dive into the Skye’s places and the fascinating stories associated with them. It particularly aims to correct the many misrepresentations of Gaelic history and placenames over the centuries by writers from the outside, for example today’s tourist literature promoting Skye’s ‘Fairy Bridge’, ‘Fairy Pools’, and ‘Fairy Glen’.

    Travels in Another Country

    Coinneach Maclean

    Until relatively modern times Scotland was largely a Gaelic-speaking nation. Areas that were described by Doctor Johnson in 1775 as being as remote and as unknown as Borneo or Sumatra became one of the first sites of modern mass tourism and the subject of more travel writing than any other part of Scotland.
