Redcastle: a Place in Scotland's History

This book is a fascinating and, at times, extraordinary history of a remarkable part of Scotland, based on a collation of primary source documents and other records relating to Redcastle... Redcastle is a place rich with history, from the dangerously unpredictable Kenneth Mackenzie to the gentle reverends who tended the people who lived there, from the Red Castle itself to the manse and every thatched cottage that was part of Redcastle's world. For this book, the author has researched a wide range of sources, covering churches, schools, civil administration, people and places of Redcastle, to bring to life a vivid and detailed account of this historic part of Scotland. Dr Graham Clark graduated from Edinburgh University and followed a career in scientific research and educational management in Further and Higher Education. In retirement, as well as his research into the heritage of the Black Isle, he indulges his interests in hillwalking, golf and third-age learning.
