He gives insightful recount of magnificent incidents of heroism through the history of the isle, and shocking ones of treachery, kidnapping, and murder.Cameron's history is so detailed and descriptive that he takes you back in time to live among the people of Skye through the ages, understand their language, feel their struggles, analyze their politics and economics, and gain insight on their everyday-lives. "The warrior threat, the infant's plain, The mother's screams were heard in vain;The vengeful chief maintains his fires, Till in the vault a tribe expires The bones that screw that cavern's gloomToo well attest their dismal doom"
