This review is from: Perthshire: In History and Legend (Paperback)
One of the most colorful and tradition enriched counties of Scotland is Perthshire. Author and historian Archie McKerracher explores some of Perthshire's remarkable events and personalities including the founding of a chapel at Strathfillan after the Battle of Bannockburn by Robert the Bruce; the Macnab's revenge; the rise and fall of the house of Bradalbane; the prophecies of the Lady of Lawers (now all fulfilled saving the one most fearful!); the unknown girl who became Empress of Morocco; and the pistols of Doune which were made entirely from horseshoe nails. Superbly written and presented, Perthshire In History And Legend is enthusiastically recommended reading for anyone with an interest in Scottish legend, history and lore!
