In this book, the castles of Hebridean myth and story are brought
to life in a scholarly yet easy-to-read text. Roger Miket explores
the history and architecture of the settings associated with
blood-curdling dramas such as the murderous goings-on at Dun Sgaith
or the far-fetched yarns of Saucy Mary and Cu Chulainn. Many of the
castles are shown in reconstruction and all the architectural
descriptions are fully illustrated making them clear to both expert
and amateur historians. Together with the earlier broachs and duns,
the castles are the principal material survivals of the great
pageant of Hebridean history.
