A HUNDRED YEARS IN THE 

 HIGHLANDS. 



By OSGOOD MACKENZIE. 

 With Illustrations. One Vol. Demy 8vo. i6s. net. 



The title of this interesting work is justified, in that the Author's 

 own recollections cover a period of nearly eighty years, while the 

 diaries of his uncle. Dr. John Mackenzie, have provided him with 

 a wealth of materials reaching much further back. It is indeed 

 fortunate that these vivid diaries have been preserved, for their 

 possession enables the Author to supplement and amplify his 

 own reminiscences with many valuable quotations, describing 

 Highland life in bygone times. 



The book appeals to all lovers of the Highlands of Scotland, 

 both in Great Britain and in all parts of the world where men of 

 Scottish blood or descent have settled. Very characteristic of 

 the Author is his intense devotion to his northern home. He 

 loves the hills and the sea, the heather and the loch. He loves 

 the people, their language and traditions ; he has a soft place in 

 his heart for their superstitions. All forms of Highland sport 

 have been familiar to him from childhood, and he is a shrewd 

 observer of animal and bird life as all true sportsmen should be. 

 His successful transformation of a Ross-shire wilderness into 

 beautiful gardens, full of rare trees and plants never previously 

 grown in those parts, is famous throughout Scotland. Last, but 

 not least, is his keen and kindly sense of humour, which gives 

 rise to many a well-told anecdote and permeates the whole book.
