Hugh
Miller Geologist
 My
Schools and Schoolmasters A memoir of the schooldays of
one of the most extraordinary minds Scotland has produced, Hugh
Miller. He rose from a modest background to become both a specialist
in the field of geology and a generalist in the wider literary
world, admired by Carlyle, Dickens and Ruskin.
 Scenes
and Legends of the North of... Scotland. A monument to Miller's
pioneering work as a folklorist and social historian, Scenes
and Legends of the North of Scotland is full of fascinating
tales of ghosts, mermaids and witches, alongside true stories
- like those of the amazingly eccentric Sir Thomas Urquhart,
and the devastating cholera epidemics of the 1830s.
