A study of Jura's history, natural heritage, geography and culture by one of the island's former ministers. This book looks at the history of the island from the Mesolithic era to the present day.

Youngson explores the barrenness of Jura's landscape which has meant it has always had a smaller population than its neighbours, and was often overlooked in historical accounts of Scotland's islands. He also looks at the Campbell's domination, of the hardships endured by the people of Jura and of it's contribution to emigration.

The book includes details of the legends, poetry and songs of the people of Jura as well as looking at the history and geography of the island.
