"The Scottish Heather Book" according to Lester G. Milroy. Very nice little book. An easy and enjoyable read. It may be a small book, but it is in my pocket and with me often. I recommend it to all.
About the AuthorBrian Osborne is the author of Cradle of the Scots, Scottish Dates, and Discovering Scottish Writers.
The purple glow of heather-clad hillsides in summertime is one of Scotland’s best-known and most beautiful sights. This delightful treatise on the flower follows Scottish heather on a journey through its colorful history as an integral part of Scottish heritage, its deeply entrenched place in poetry and song, its significant role in the economy of the country, and its transformation from hillside beauty into a symbol of national pride and identity.
