Sinopsis
Author Jamie Blackett arrives home from the Army to take over a small family estate on the Solway Firth in Dumfries and Galloway and finds a rapidly changing countryside.
In a humorous and occasionally moving tale, he describes how he grapples with the intricacies of farming, conservation and estate management and tells the story of founding a pack of foxhounds and a herd of pedigree beef cattle. Part childhood memoir, part biopic of rural life, readers are transported to a remote and beautiful part of Scotland and acquainted with its wildlife, its people and its customs. One minute he is unblocking his septic tank, and the next he is watching Glenn Close film a sex scene in his bedroom.
Set over the first two decades of the 21st century, through the Scottish independence referendum, Brexit and the hunting ban, the result is an enlightened review of the challenges threatening a vulnerable way of life and an emerging rural philosophy about the directions Scotland, farming and the countryside might take in the brave new world of Brexit.

hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Signed. First Edition. First Edition. Signed by the Author. Jamie Blackettâs Red Rag to a Bull: Rural Life in an Urban Age is a candid, often wry account of farming and community life in modern rural Britain, told from the perspective of a working farmer trying to navigate shifting politics, environmental pressures and the widening cultural gap between countryside and city. Blackett blends personal stories with sharp observations about land management, regulation, tradition and the realities of keeping a farm going in an era when rural voices often feel overlooked. Itâs reflective, humorous and occasionally provocative, offering an insiderâs view of the challenges and character of contemporary rural life. First Edition SIGNED COPY.
