Description
The 20th century was a tumultuous time for the island of Lewis. Migration and depopulation were exacerbated by two world wars. Such problems could not be addressed in the lottery of private landownership - but in the stable, democratic government of the Stornoway Trust, town and country alike would weather the storms. The author of Calum’s Road tells the story of the people who guided their pioneering estate into relative security and prosperity, of a unique landholding experiment, of the Highland land struggle and of the island of Lewis itself.
