The Summer Walkers: Travelling People and Pearl-Fishers in the Highlands of Scotland (Canongate Classic)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Summer Walkers is the name the crofters of Scotland's northwest Highlands gave the traveling people-the itinerant tinsmiths, horse-dealers, hawkers, and pearl fishers-who made their living on the road. They are not gypsies, but are indigenous Gaelic-speaking Scots, who, to this day, remain heirs of a vital and ancient culture.

The Summer Walkers documents an archetypal and vanishing way of life. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
