We have a NEW edition of Ancient Luing: a historical guide to the Isle of Luing, written by Mary Braithwaite!

It includes information that has emerged since the first edition was published with new perspectives on some of Luing’s prehistoric and historic sites, including the promontory forts and duns at Ardinamar and Ardluing, the roundhouse at Park and the Kilchattan church graffiti. And it now includes some of Luing’s historic characters, not least Hector of Ardluing and his dramatic rise and downfall in the 16th century.

The only thing that hasn’t changed is the price. Ancient Luing: a historical guide to the Isle of Luing costs £12.50 and is on sale now at the Atlantic Islands Centre!
