Edit Guidebook to the Cumbraes

There is a very old guidebook which can be downloaded at www.cimbrae.co.uk. It is very descriptive of the island as it was many years ago.
 

A fascinating read. Very detailed in many ways, and showing a deep undesrtanding of the local area and geography and a wide academic knowledge.

I get the impression that there should be illustrations which would have been a great help to understanding some of the text, but they were not obviously within the text.

The author mentions another proposed book on Largs. I wonder if it ever got produced... must search the web!

Have your say:
