Arranged by geographical area, it is a colourful and compelling introduction to more than a thousand years of Perthshire's history. The book is full of stories about well-known figures and events, such as Robert the Bruce and his founding of a chapel at Strathfillan after the battle of Bannockburn, the Macnab's revenge and the rise and fall of the House of Breadalbane. In addition it also includes lesser-known legends and stories including the prophecies of the Lady of Lawers (all now fulfilled except the most fearful), the unknown girl who became Empress of Morocco, and the pistols of Doune made entirely from horsehoe nails.
