Description:


'Coffin roads' along which bodies were carried for burial are a marked feature of the landscape of the Scottish Highlands and islands – many are now popular walking and cycling routes. This book journeys along eight coffin roads to discover and explore the distinctive traditions, beliefs and practices around dying, death and mourning in the communities which created and used them.

The result is a fascinating snapshot into place and culture. After more than a century when death was very much a taboo subject, this book argues that aspects of the distinctive West Highland and Hebridean way of death and approach to dying and mourning may have something helpful and important to offer to us today.

Routes covered in this book are:

The Kilmartin Valley – the archetypal coffin road in this ritual landscape of the dead.

The Street of the Dead on Iona – perhaps the best known coffin road in Scotland.

Kilearnadil Graveyard, Jura – a perfect example of a Hebridean graveyard.

The coffin road through Morvern to Keil Church, Lochaline - among the best defined and most evocative coffin roads today.

The Green Isle, Loch Shiel, Ardnamurchan - the oldest continuously used burial place anywhere in Europe.

The coffin road on Eigg – with its distinctive ‘piper’s cairn’ where the coffin of Donald MacQuarrie, the 'Great Piper of Eigg', was rested.

The coffin road from Traigh Losgaintir to Loch Stocinis on Harris - popular with walkers and taken as the title for a best-selling thriller by Peter May.

The coffin road on Barra – A detailed study of burial practices on Barra in the early 1950

Tiny but mighty
Size: One Size, Color: B4/Fuschia, Size: One Size, Color: B4/Fuschia
This bag is definitely for the small bag lovers or for the essentials-only carriers. But the color is beautiful. The soft pink suede interior is luxurious. The smooth leather exterior? Luxurious. The SMELL? Luxurious. The crisp sound of the brass clip closing? Luxurious. I will say the shoulder strap does not like to stay on my shoulder when I wear linen. I have yet to wear it out with the crossbody strap but it looks super cute and Asian-fashion-like as a crossbody. Overall an AMAZING bag with unbeatable quality for under $180 with the sale I snagged.

Great quality Coach Bag!!
Size: One Size, Color: B4/Maple Maple
Coach Tabby 20: Great small bag with lots of individual compartments...for a wallet, phone, comb, keys, earbuds, & lip gloss. The color is a medium dark brown with a lighter brown highlighting Coach signature...it goes with everything! I especially like the expandable shoulder strap to crossbody wear, with plenty of room to have it hang long if you like...and not have the strap only go to your side when wearing it crossbody...it actually can go to my hip and I am 5'6'. I've received complements on it...one I especially liked was a young girl cashier, who looked at it with big eyes, smiled and said, "Cute Bag!". I'm in my early 60's so that felt kinda great!!! ;) I bought on Amazon because Amazon speed delivers!! Thank you Amazon!
