Description:
It is three hundred years since Martin Martin's great journey around the Western Isles, Orkneys, and Shetlands. The first and one of the greatest of all travellers in Scotland, he is also unique by being the only native Gaelic speaker amongst them. This work gives his account a unique and authoritative resonance which makes it, even today, a mine of information on the customs, history, traditions, and life of the Hebrides.
