by IainR.Thomson (Author)
SDEMore than a chronicle of a life spent farming in the Scottish Highlands and a family portrait of the clan Fraser of Lovat, with whom the author enjoys a close connection, this work is also a collection of stories which reflect the changes of both attitude and affluence which have revolutionized Highland life and dramatically affected its natural environment over the centuries. Using the background to the Fraser clan chiefs as a central theme, from the cunning Red Fox, and infamous Fraser chieftain, through to the sudden death of the Master of Lovat which set in train the sale of the Fraser empire around Beaufort Castle, Iain Thomson weaves a narrative that shows how the effects of history have such a profound effect on what happens today.
