The part of Scotland which contains Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park has long been a magnet for visitors. Many, such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Mendelssohn, Hand Andersen, Queen Victoria (and many of her subjects) were tourists. They were inspired by its extraordinary natural beauty, and by a wish to visit the settings for the best-selling works of Sir Walter Scott. Others came in the course of duty: early saints brought Christianity, redcoats pursued Rob Roy and engineers came to revive Scotland's fortunes with hyrdo-electricity.In this fascinating book, John Ransom, who has lived in the area for many years, tells the stories of the people who came to it and what they found. He describes how an intricate network of connecting trains, loch steamers and horse-drawn coaches enabled them to move around easily; how Loch Lomond and the fast-flowing River Leven were used as a highway for trade for over a thousand years; how the railway from Dunblane to Crianlarich, where luxurious Pullman cars ran in the 1920s, was closed amidst controversy in the 1960s.Crammed with historical detail and illustrated with numerous modern and period photographs, this is the essential companion to this spectacular corner of Scotland.

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs in History and Legend

The spectacular advance of Campbell power in the medieval Scottish kingdom has normally been explained in terms of the family's ruthless and duplicitous suppression of their fellow-Gaels in Argyll and the Hebrides at the behest of the Scottish crown. In particular, Clan Campbell's success is seen to be built on the destruction of older and more prestigious regional lordships in the west, such as those of the MacDougall lords of Argyll and the MacDonald lords of the Isles. But in this book the lords who dominated the medieval Clan Campbell emerge more as individuals enjoying complex and ambiguous relationships with the Scottish crown and the culture and politics of Gaelic-speaking Scotland, rather than as unquestioning agents of the Stewart monarchy and committed converts to the aristocratic culture of lowland Scotland.
