Its your road, and yours alone.
others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.

For the bibliophiles, for the lovers of history and antiquity - I am thrilled!  Last night while doing some research for the book I happened upon a book, a treasure by J.A. MacCulloch, scholar, canon and mysterious man.  He wrote, “The Misty Isle of Skye,” and you can imagine why I was so excited to discover this.  It’s a book about the people, their history and culture from one who has loved it.  I can find almost nothing about the man himself and that is driving me crazy.  For now, all in the interests of research you understand, I have ordered the book, to be dispatched from a bookseller in Tintern, Monmouthshire, Wales.  It’s a first edition, published about 1905 and I am very excited to be getting it.  Excuse the small image, the photo on the book site is tiny.  Does anyone know anything about J.A. MacCulloch?  He wrote many books about history, celtic mythology, early religions and morality - there must be something to be known about John Arnott MacCulloch? (He lived 1868-1950)
