The life of Sir William Watson Cheyne spanned the flamboyant era of colonial expansion and some of the most important medical developments of the 19th century. His role in these advances - as an eminent surgeon, an early researcher in medical bacteriology, a staunch ally of Lord Lister, an MP, and an intrepid traveller - has not previously been studied in depth. His extraordinary story emerges from a fascinating mix of family and community memory and detailed archival research. Many rare images - digitised versions of photographs and glass lantern slides from the family home, "Leagarth" on the island of Fetlar - are reproduced in this biography.

Author Jane Coutts managed the Fetlar Interpretive Centre for 15 years, where she produced exhibitions on Cheyne and the island's heritage.

Great, stylish and warm mock turtleneck sweater!
Size: Large, Color: Grey
Bought this sweater, because — living down South — I didn't have many winter clothes. But I was kinda shocked by just how NICE and well-made this mock turtleneck was! Very soft, extremely-well fitting and perfect for casual/dressy-casual outings, I've gotten compliments every time I've worn it... and no one EVER compliments me on my clothes! 😄 I love this sweater so much, I ended up buying a second one in a different color... even though I'll probably only need to wear it once a year!

Mediocre mens shirt
Material feels great, however the product doesn’t hold up to laundry when following the instructions. The process makes it acceptable, you can get maybe 6 wears out of it before it makes a great Buffy cloth for waxing car
