Researched from oral and written sources and inhanced by countless period and specially taken photographs, this book presents a richly detailed picture of the lives of country folk in Kinytre from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth. Concentrating on the everyday lives of the people, it shows how they worked the land, kept their livestock, built and furnished their homes, prepared food and fuel and celebrated special days. ... A vivid and tangible portrait of a forgotten way of life, 'Kintyre Country Life' also extends its scope to the more social elements of life such as the leisure activities of Kintyre farmworkers and the games played by their children.
