{"product_id":"9781839830990","title":"Highland Homespun","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn May 1933 Margaret Leigh took over the tenancy of Achnabo farm, in a beautiful corner of the West Highlands overlooking the isle of Skye.   In this unsentimental yet exquisitely written book, she recounts a year of farming life there, from the burning of the land and ploughing in March, through planting and sowing in April to haymaking and harvesting in September. Incidental details - such as a visit to the smithy, the arrival of some new bulls and the annual journey of the cows to the summer shielings - provide fascinating insights into farming life.   Local characters and customs feature too, adding another rich dimension to this reflective and poignant memoir of a world now vanished forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59456417595726,"sku":"9781839830990","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781839830990.jpg?v=1776434691","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781839830990","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
