Jura: Language and Landscape
By
Gary McKay
Price: £15.00

The Isle of Jura is, nowadays, home to only a few hundred people yet every corner of this dramatic landscape is steeped in the stories and legends of those who have lived there in the past. The "Paps" of Jura dominate the seascape for miles around yet the island, with no direct ferry link with the Scottish mainland, is familiar to relatively few. This new book, featuring more than fifty photographs of the island, will introduce you to both the its wide open - and "empty" - spaces and its more intimate corners. Gary McKay has illustrated his remarkably detailed images with the traditional stories linked with each location.

So Strange a Monster as a Jesuiste - The Society of Jesus in Sixteenth Century Scotland
By
Michael Yellowlees
Price: £18.99 (HB)
AVAILABLE: NEW BOOK

The Jesuits played an important role in the preservation of the Catholic faith in Scotland from the time of its first mission to Ireland and Scotland in 1541 until the accession of James VI to the English throne in 1603. Twenty years later, following Nicholas de Gouda’s mission to Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1562 there was a significant influx of Scottish recruits though it was a further twenty years before a formal Scottish mission was established.
