Book Description
Rebellion was recurrent in the Highlands because the Gaels (Scoti) were an often-oppressed indigenous minority in the nation, Scotland, to which they gave their name. They spoke a language, Gaelic, few outsiders would learn, and had their own family and social system, the clans. Warfare was bloody, culminating in the catastrophe of Culloden Moor during the doomed quest to restore the Stuart kingship to all of Britain. Economic hardship, including the near-genocidal Clearances, in which tenant farmers were replaced with sheep, drove the Gaels from the glens and islands, so that most today live in the diaspora, including millions in North America. Although the Gaels lack a single genetic identity, they clearly draw from distinct roots in the Irish, Norse and Picts. Despite their hardship, the Gaels are also presented in romantic portrayals by the artistic elite of other nations. This book offers ways in which the reader might find roots and ancestry in unfamiliar terrain. Chapters discuss the landscape and language of the Highlanders, the rise of clans, feuds and invasions, and eventual emigration.

Lowlands to Highlands is a compilation of stories from the life of Hamish Skead, a conservationist, hunter, and outdoorsman. It tells some of the humorous, dangerous, unbelievable, and downright crazy stories from Hamishs wanderings in Africa and beyond. These stories might be hard to believe, but every one is true. Through the stories, Lowlands to Highlands pays tribute to the great family, friends, colleagues, and clients that make an adventure. The adrenalin, danger, and adventure filter through the pages and pictures of Lowlands to Highlands. Hunters make the best conservationists, as they have the most to lose if we dont take care of our planet.
