Description:This is the first biography of the man who did more than anyone else to create the modern image of the Highland Scot, made possible by the author's unique access to Stewart of Garth's papers.David Stewart of Garth wrote the book that has underpinned every subsequent account of the Highlands and Highlanders. His attacks on his fellow lairds over the Clearances led to his being suspected of radicalism.
