Their story, along with those of other landowners, is one of grand ideas, some realised, some thwarted. Other significant influences on island life during this time came from national and international developments. Changing attitudes to religion, education, agriculture and industry all left their imprint and contributed to a legacy that remains in both buildings and landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book vividly records the island's built heritage as well as the stunning physical beauty of its landscape, and is informed by history and local memory freely given by the islanders themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.61 x 7.41 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 13, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47500327878905,"sku":"9781839830938","price":39.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/DCod4_ugn19781839830938.webp?v=1773260153","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/islay-scenes-portrait-of-an-island-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
