Langwell : The History of a Caithness Estate and its Management, 1750-1850

This book traces the history of a 30,000-acre Highland estate and its people from after the Jacobite Rebellion in 1745 until the estate was sold to the 5th Duke of Portland in 1857. Using original research and archival sources including first-hand reports, court records, letters and contemporary newspapers, it sheds light on the lives of the crofters, their landlords, the sheep economy, the droving trade and the fishing industry. Langwell provides deep insight into the immense cultural and social changes taking place in the Scottish Highlands during the period.Author: Moss, Michael,author,Parente, William,author Contributors: Moss, Michael,author,Parente, William,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 30 Sep 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Edinburgh University Press Author/Director/Artist: Michael Moss Dimension (cm): 234x156x51 mm Package Dimension (cm): 51x234x156 mm Item Weight (g): 771 Package Weight (g): 1361
