"Gairloch in North-West Ross-Shire" by John H. Dixon is a historical journey through a Scottish Highland parish, blending local lore with natural wonders to create both a tribute and a travel companion from the 1800s, that captures the essence of a place where community and heritage intertwine. The book begins with the author showing his deep appreciation for Gairloch and explaining his goal of creating a helpful guide for people who live there and visitors too. Dixon mentions how many people who lived there and experts, all assisted him to write this book. The book goes on to show that he thought that natural history and the culture were important to the area, setting the stage for everything else that he writes about.
