The Ancient Pinewoods of Scotland by Clifton Bain (18 April
2013). Scattered across the Scottish Highlands are the last surviving
remnants of the Caledonian forest which have survived, naturally seeding and
growing since the last ice age. All are in the Scottish Highlands. Visiting
these ancient woods provides an emotional connection to nature and to the past:
and this superb book shows you how. Read our full review.
The Devil's Recruit
by S.G. MacLean (14 March 2013). 1635, and Europe is in the grip of the
brutal territorial and religious struggle of the Thirty Years' War. Fear stalks
the town of Aberdeen as a ship recruiting for the wars lies at anchor in the
river mouth. Apprehension grows and culminates in the disappearance of the son
of a Highland chief. The fourth in the excellent Alexander Seaton
series. Read our full review.
Aberdeenshire
Tramways by Mike Mitchell (18 February 2013). In this wonderful collection
of images, Mike Mitchell, a historian of Aberdeen transport, shows the
development of tramways not just in the city of Aberdeen but wider
Aberdeenshire as well, from the Aberdeen Suburban Tramways Company through the
Strabathie Light Railway to the Cruden Bay Hotel Tramway. Read our full review.
Glasgow: The Real Mean City by Malcolm Archibald (11 April
2013). There cannot be many cities where crime could mean anything from
stealing a ship to singing a seditious song, but 19th century Glasgow was a
unique place. Immigrants poured in from Ireland and the Highlands while the
factories and shipyards buzzed with innovation. However, underneath the bustle
a diverse criminal class worked with total disregard for the law. Read our full review.
Killing Fields of
Scotland: AD83 to 1746 by R. J. M. Pugh (31 March 2013). Battles fought on
Scottish soil include those of the Scottish Wars of Independence, the English
Civil Wars and the Jacobite Rebellions. This book tells the stories of these
battles and many others fought in Scotland from the Roman victory at Mons
Graupius in AD 83 to the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden Moor in
1746. Read our full review.
Screams in the Dark
by Anna Smith (31 January 2013). Steeped in its own problems, Glasgow's
mushrooming underclass is simmering with resentment; and one by one, refugees
are disappearing. The authorities assume the refugees have vanished into the
black economy, until the mutilated body of an Albanian man is fished out of the
River Clyde. Rosie Gilmour's instincts tell her there's more to this story than
meets the eye. Read our full review.
