The book is attractively laid out, and as would be expected for an author of Neil Clark's standing, authoritative in its content and factual accuracy. There is much here for the enthusiast, but the text is equally accessible to the lay reader. The content is well organised, with a clear contents page, 8 chapters covering - an introduction, the nature of gold, geology, history, Scottish gold rushes, gold in ancient Scotland, and concluding with gold returns and the reformatiion and revival. Appendices include coverage of gold coinage, weights and measures, where to look, and suggestions for further reading. A comprehensive bibliography will be of use to readers wishing to delve deeper into the subject, and Neil has also provided over 350 "end notes"--Interesting and informative snippets to augment the main body text.83 , 84 ) which has been made of it — although it is hazardous to found on this

Golf is a Scottish game. It has been played by the Scots for centuries, and Scotland is its spiritual and cultural home. This is a book devoted to one nation's devotion to a game of stick and ball which today casts its enchantment over the entire world. The beginnings of golf and its early development are shrouded in mystery and are part fact and part fable. The Scottish Golf Book separates one from the other as it traces the early history of golf to the multimillion-dollar, worldwide obsession it has become today. Images from the earliest days of Scottish photography recall titanic battles between the early superstars of the game, while the modern lens takes the reader on a spectacular and magical journey around the historic, the classic, and the hidden treasures of Scotland's finest courses.Scotland went along not because it had to but because it realized that its gold
would be drained if it didn't . And there is evidence that Scottish banks quietly
continued gold payments to their best customers . This difference between the 2 ...

Every year, thousands of tourists are drawn to Scotland by images of pipers and fairy-tale castles, Highland games and haggis, misty glens and heather, and, despite widespread disparagement, that imagery is still as carefully nurtured by indigenous tourist agencies as by the international tourist industry. This illustrated text looks at the portrayal of Scotland in tourist promotional literature from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day, with illustrations drawn from many parts of continental Europe and North America. After providing an analytical framework for the interpretation of tourist promotional imagery, the early chapters focus on the all-important creation of the Highland myth through the reports of eighteenth and nineteenth century travellers, its enhancement as tourism grew from 1850 onwards - completely belying the contemporary reality of the Highland clearances - and its apotheosis in the film-maker's art. Subsequent chapters turn to the selling of urban Scotland, looking at the long-standing marketing of Edinburgh and more recent attempts to sell Glasgow as a cultural centre.GOLD IN SCOTLAND . 171 special ornaments , all the gold , it appears , having
