Fermfolk & fisherfolk : rural life in Northern Scotland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

Books, Manuscripts
A large part of the story of people - in this case, farmfolk and fisherfolk - is to be found in the story of their homes. Much of this book is devoted to accounts of the changes and developments in the housing of the rural communities of northern Scotland - in new crofts, planned villages and fishing settlements, mostly designed to house labourers, craftsmen, merchants and fishermen and thus aid economic development.
