Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Highland Gatherings: Being Accounts of the Braemar, Northern and Luss Meetings' provides an immersive look into the storied tradition of Scottish Highland games. Authored by Sir Iain Colquhoun and Hugh Machell, this work offers detailed chronicles of some of Scotland's most prestigious and historic gatherings, specifically focusing on the events at Braemar, the Northern Meeting, and Luss.
