Book Description:
Spanning the early historic period to the present day, this volume traces the long standing relationship between Scotland, its people, and the sea. The coastal environment, boat and shipbuilding, and maritime trade are thoroughly examined, as are the various types of fishing that have been practiced in Scotland over the centuries. Detailed and well researched, this reference also delves into ethnological matters such as sea clothing and equipment, the vocabulary of fishermen, and the role of women in fishing communities. This multiauthored volume demonstrates that, as a medium of contact, a highway for trade, and an important source of food, the sea has greatly influenced Scotland s everyday life and society as well as its development as a nation.
