This book was kindly supplied by Kieran Swords. The Preface to the Second Edition is succinct and accurate in describing it as an "unpretentious record." It is an enjoyable and easy read and contains a surprising amount of information about the area. His opinion of Fir-House, though qualified by a footnote, is sure to raise some hackles.
