This review article attempts to assess the first fruits of a monumental undertaking by Ronald Black, Christopher Dracup and their colleagues aimed at publishing in their entirety the historical accounts and lore collected by John Dewar (1802–1872) in the West Highlands of Scotland between 1862 and 1872. It does so from the perspective of a general reader, anticipating that Scottish historians, linguists, onomasticians, ethnologists, folktale experts, musicians and others will offer more specialised critiques in due course.Downloads
