Polly Pullar's tour through Scottish rural life includes portraits of every native breed of Scottish farm animal along with tales and anecdotes from breeders and crofters on subjects as diverse as sheep auctions, bothy making, Highland trekking and bovine embryo transplantation. This unique view of Scotland's agrarian culture, illustrated by Keith Brockie, includes a Highlander's recollection of an eccentric childhood, a farmer describing the tragedy of foot-and-mouth disease, and a look into the history of the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society.
