Synopsis

Fonn's Duthchas Land and Legacy is a very special travelling exhibition for 2007 - The Year of Highland Culture. The full exhibition will start in Inverness in January and travel to Glasgow (April), Edinburgh (June) and Stornoway (September). A smaller version will then visit other venues in the Highlands and Islands. The book will have a catalogue of items from the exhibition and a narrative (in Gaelic and in English) by well-known writer and historian James Hunter. The topics covered include: land ownership issues; war; religion; clans and clearances; sport and leisure; Gaelic and the oral tradition; the landscape; the Highlands and Islands today, including current environmental issues, and recent population increases.
