{"product_id":"highland-homespun-margaret-leigh-9781839830990","title":"Highland Homespun","description":"In May 1933 Margaret Leigh took over the tenancy of Achnabo farm, in a beautiful corner of the West Highlands overlooking the isle of Skye.   In this unsentimental yet exquisitely written book, she recounts a year of farming life there, from the burning of the land and ploughing in March, through planting and sowing in April to haymaking and harvesting in September. Incidental details – such as a visit to the smithy, the arrival of some new bulls and the annual journey of the cows to the summer shielings – provide fascinating insights into farming life.   Local characters and customs feature too, adding another rich dimension to this reflective and poignant memoir of a world now vanished forever.","brand":"Birlinn General","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51489497612576,"sku":"9781839830990","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781839830990_2453015.jpg?v=1776317790","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/highland-homespun-margaret-leigh-9781839830990","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
