| Description: |
From being an important source of food for coastal communities, fishing acquired from medieval times onwards a great commercial importance; the leaders of Scottish society always desired to make more of the fisheries. This title examines the fishing activities of the people living around the coasts of Scotland. |
| Synopsis: |
In the nineteenth century the Scottish herring fisheries achieved a position of world leadership, and fishing continued to make a significant contribution to the country's economy until the second half of the twentieth century. Now, as this important and scholarly survey is re-released, the future of the Scottish fishing industry is very uncertain. The author builds on previous study of the subject and also brings his own original and extensive research to bear in tracing the development of the fisheries in a way that will be of interest to both the general reader and the academic. The text is greatly enhanced by numerous diagrams and maps, as well as a plate section, which contains over thirty unusual and historic photographs. These images help to bring to life the work and skills of Scotland's sea-fishing communities. |
