Rev. James Fraser, 1634-1709: A New Perspective on the Scottish Highlands Before Culloden

by David Worthington

This book studies the revealing autobiographical sources left by Rev. James Fraser of Kirkhill (1634-1709), a Gaelic-speaking scholar, traveller and minister. It examines Fraser's self-presentation and situates him within his locality, Scotland, the British Isles and Europe, also incorporating recent historiography to provide a more comprehensive presentation of the social, economic and cultural trajectories of the early modern Highlands.
