The Wild Black Region: Badenoch 1750-1800

This book tells the fascinating story of Badenoch, a forgotten region in accounts of Scottish history. This ground-breaking study reveals some radical differences from trends across the rest of the Highlands. Economic forces, social ambition and post-Culloden legislation created intolerable pressures within the old clan hierarchy, as Duke, tacksman and erstwhile clansman tried to forge their individual – and often irreconcilable – destinies in a rapidly changing world.
