{"product_id":"islay-jura-and-colonsay-a-historical-guide-birlinn-historical-guides","title":"Islay, Jura and Colonsay: A Historical Guide (Birlinn Historical Guides)","description":"The story of Islay, Jura and Colonsay is one of the most fascinating amongst all the Hebrides. They have had substantial human occupation since earliest times and man has left many relics across the islands, from tools and artefacts of mesolithic times to the modern-day distilleries of Islay and Jura. From the period in-between survive chambered cairns, iron age forts, magnificent early crosses, enigmatic carvings, early monasteries, relics of the Lordship of the Isles, deserted townships and shielings, planned villages, corn mills, kelp kilns and lead mines and much else besides.\n\nFar more than a gazetteer, this book is based on a great deal of intensive primary research and local knowledge and is essential reading for local and tourist alike.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1912476541\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1912476541.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Caldwell, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
