Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Auld Meetin´-Hoose Green The river which wimples through, right under the village street, comes in useful as a means of localization and designation as well. Anyone living within half a mile of its banks, between the village and the county town, was termed a "doon-the-water man"; those dwelling on the north side were known as "up-through folk." The terms had more significance than may, at first sight, be suspected; for "doon-the-water people," basking, as it were, in a fertile valley, occupied a very different position from the "up-through folks," whose chief characteristics were peats, moss fir, half-starved "shilties," and dwarfy, black-faced sheep. Their "fertile valley" was a profusion of whins, boulders, and single-stone dykes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
