Inhaltsangabe

The island of Soay nestles between the Sleat peninsula and the grandeur of the Cuillins—and there can be few more magnificent settings. Despite its proximity to Skye it has been little visited. Evacuated in 1953—the first evacuation since St Kilda—it has since been re-occupied. The history of the island is ultimately linked with that of Skye—including the great clearances. Laurance Reed's book, privately published in the 1980s, is the definitive account of this beautiful and little known island, incorporating a great deal of original research. This new edition contains a new epilogue and a plate section of the island and its evacuation.
