Scotland 1907. Valentine and Sons of Dundee were Scotland's most successful commercial photographers. In 1907, at the height of the postcard revolution, the photographs they published showed Scotland in its many guises, and were bought with pride and pleasure by Scots and visitors alike. The photographs ranged from the Bens and Glens to towns and great cities, featuring fishermen, steamers on the loch, municipal fountains and market squares. Valentine not only worked in the tradition of Scottish photographers like Washington Wilson, and Hill and Adamson, but also followed earlier engravers and landscape painters like J. M. W. Turner. Three hundred years after the Act of Union, the pictures of 1907 showed a confident Scotland, and were sent all over the world as postcards. R. J. Morris has collected together the best of these photographs in Scotland 1907. Drawing on guidebooks, pictures, gazetteers and maps, he provides detailed explanatory commentary to elucidate this fascinating collection of images, giving a valuable insight into the history of our nation.

Scotch
on the Rocks
Scotch on the Rocks tells the fascinating story of how the
8,000 ton Politician, with its enormous cargo of nearly a
quarter of a million bottles of duty-free whisky, ran aground
off the coast of the Hebridean island of Eriskay in 1941.
It was enroute to join an Atlantic convoy heading for the
West Indies and then up to Canada where it is thought that
its precious cargo was to be sold. The true story of 'The
Polly' has its own place in Scotland’s social history
and Antonia Swinson has put the story in an entirely new context
for a self-confident devolved Scotland.
