Description

John Murdoch was the catalyst who introduced the philosophy of the Irish Land League to Inverness, and helped initiate a protest movement leading to the passing of the Act and the establishment of the Crofters Commission to safeguard their rights. This fitting tribute is an absorbing account of a Highland life, carrying the full force of Murdoch’s political and religious convictions, and some entertaining insights into the nitty gritty of life a century ago.
