Arisiag and Morar, Norse and Gaelic, the ‘river-mouth bay’ and the ‘great water’, part of na garbh Chriochan (The Rough Bounds), an area so rugged and desolate it was itself known as the Highlands of the Highlands.

For centuries the Highlands and Islands of Scotland have cast their spell over visitors.

Knoydart – the northern edge of the ‘Rough Bounds’ is one of the most evocative names in Scotland. This text offers a history of Knoydart from the earliest times to the present day.

This is the first book ever to be written on the collective history of the little group of islands between Ardnamurchan and Skye. Amongst the best known of the Hebrides, they are also amongst the least documented. A highly enlightening book on these little-studied islands.
