New book: Dalriada: A Twentieth Century Kingdom

[Kyle MacLea]

Saw this on the ARGYLL list....

an extract from the current issue of the Oban Times:

"A book celebrating the history of Mid Argyll has been launched.

"Dalriada: A Twentieth Century Kingdom" written by Argyll-based journalist Marian Pallister, is part of the work being done by the Dalriada Community History Project. . . . Memories in the book range from life in Kilmartin Glens, work on the Crinan Canal, and rural hardships in the bustling communities of Lochgilphead and Ardrishaig. . .

The book contains a wealth of photographs and illustrations that bring to life the existence of farmers and generations gone by . . .

The Dalriada Community History Project was formed in 2006 to conserve and enhance the cultural and natural heritage of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada." . . .

It sounds interesting, Kyle. Marian Pallister has also written another book called "Lost Argyll - Argyll's Lost Heritage", published in 2005 by Birlinn Ltd, www.birlinn.co.uk. As well as being an interesting book, it has a wealth of photographs.

Hi Kyle and Jill,

Both books sound worth checking out. So many on my list already. I am keeping my eyes open for some good cottage reading this summer up at the Lake.

Need something to kick your feet up with, when relaxing at the lake, most definitely!
