Non-fiction
The author of Lost Argyll offers an illustrated journey through the local lore and hidden histories of this curious county in the southwest of Scotland.
The great travelers of the 17th century used the word “curiosity” in reference to many different things. The label was equally applied to people, plants, legends, historical facts and geological certainties. In Argyll Curiosities, Scottish author Marian Pallister follows their example in a 21st century journey around Argyll and its islands.
It is difficult to find an area of Argyll which is not curious in some way: archaeology, geography, geology and genealogy have all revealed the uniqueness of this western fringe of Scotland. Going beyond the curiosities that are easily found on any journey through the county, Pallister has looked extensively into places, people and events which are curiously layered, resulting in a book that is overflowing with enchanting revelations and local histories.
