A Highland Parish (1867)

By Norman MacLeod

Book Overview

A Highland Parish is a non-fiction book written by Norman Macleod and published in 1867. The book is a detailed account of Macleod's experiences as a minister in the remote Scottish parish of Morven during the mid-19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of life in the parish. Macleod writes about the geography and history of the area, the customs and traditions of the local people, and the challenges he faced as a minister trying to provide spiritual guidance to his congregation. Throughout the book, Macleod provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands, as well as the harsh living conditions faced by many of the parishioners. He also discusses the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the area, and the ways in which it was changing the traditional way of life in the Highlands. A Highland Parish is widely regarded as a classic work of Scottish literature, and is valued for its insights into the social and cultural history of the Scottish Highlands during the 19th century. It remains a popular read for those interested in Scottish history and culture, as well as for anyone who enjoys well-written and engaging non-fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
