Living in Atholl
Atholl is a district in North Perthshire.
Out of Atholl
This story emerged through the chance survival of an archive of documents covering a dozen generations of a family that lived in Atholl in Highland Perthshire. One was killed fighting Cromwell's soldiers. Another was clapped in the Tower of London after the 1715 Rising. Another died at Culloden. Others fought against Napoleon, ran slave plantations in the West Indies, ran off with unsuitable lovers, sired innumerable children of many hues, and struggled for financial stability as the winds of economic and social change blew through their ancient feudal society.

Atholl and Gowrie, North Perthshire
A unique combination of illustrated guidebook and engrossing narrative, this is a chronological history of Atholl and Gowrie from prehistoric times to the present day, including maps of the district and site plans. Both areas are extremely rich in archaeology and this guide takes in the full range from neolithic cairns to medieval palaces, from industrial workers' cottages to Roman fortresses. A full gazetteer combines with the narrative to produce a definitive history of this beautiful part of Scotland, on the boundary of Highland and Lowland, that has played such a full part in Scotland's history.
The Atholl Expedition
SCOTLAND, 1847. Convalescence doesn't suit Professor Forbes. When one of his former students appears exhausted at his door, telling stories of bloodthirsty gamekeepers and a mythical glacier in the heart of the Cairngorm mountains, he can't resist the chance for another adventure. Forbes is soon involved in the chase of his life - with perhaps one last chance to make his name before it is too late. This is a tale of life in the Scottish mountains before mountaineering began.
