Summary

First published in 1932, this fascimile edition offers a fascinating and delightful introduction to the history, folklore, traditions and landscape of Lanarkshire - a county often assumed to have been blighted by collieries, steelworks and factories. Yet Clydesdale also has areas of extraordinary natural beauty, including the world-famous Falls of Clyde, and a past full of historical resonances - the Romans were much in evidence there; William Wallace lived there; Covenanters hid there; and the area was of crucial importance during the Industrial Revolution. This book explores the well-known parts as well as the hidden gems of Clydesdale in a delightful, nostalgic travel classic.
