The Future of the Highlands
About this book
Originally published in 1968, this book gave a rounded picture of some of the problems which were facing the Highlands of Scotland in the first half of the twentieth century. The contributors examined various aspects of the Highland problem and ways of solving it: how to develop productive industry, stabilize the population, encourage creative growth of community and support Gaelic culture and language. The book takes full account of the historical background, linguistic, literary and economic situation.
