David Cameron follows up his study of great Scottish farms of the last century, the farmtouns, with a re-creation of one of the smallest of farming units, the croft; and he builds up around the figure of a single crofter, Willie Gavin. He writes of the Gavin family and their links with the past; of the `old speak`, the dialect peculiar to the North-east Lowlands, then just dying out; of a wedding, and the raising of a family; of life in the home - the food, the furnishings, the clothes; of, in short, a way of life.
