Inverness books: History & Heritage
	Inverness Our Story: "Mind Thon Time": v. 1 Price: £9.99 Publication: September 1, 2004
	Inverness: A History Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, is now Scotland's youngest city, a vibrantly growing community and the main destination for all tourists who seek their Highland roots or that more elusive creature - Nessie. Inverness's history, however, belies its peaceful present. Founded by Scotland's monarchs as a strategic outpost on a wild frontier, the royal burgh on the Ness has been caught up time and again in the struggles that mark Highland and British history. Over the centuries rebels against Lowland rule, the forces of Robert Bruce, followers of the Lord of the Isles, the English soldiers of Cromwell's army, and Jacobites have swaggered through its streets. Here, too, have come some of the great figures in Scotland's story - from Columba, Mary Queen of Scots, the Marquis of Montrose, and Prince Charles Edward Stuart to Johnson and Boswell. Through the troubles the merchants and burgesses struggled to make their town a pleasant, well-ordered community where commerce could flourish and the visitor would be welcome. Price: £17.50 Publication: October 2004
	The Gaelic Place Names and Heritage of Inverness Price: £5.99 Publication: November 2004

Inverness books: General Interest
	Highland Railway: People and Places - From the Inverness and Nairn Railway to Scotrail The opening of the Inverness and Nairn Railway in 1855 was one of the most significant events in the history of the Highlands. It created new communities, led to the development of villages into towns and boosted agriculture and tourism. In this new book, published to mark the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Inverness and Nairn Railway, Neil Sinclair looks for the first time at the social history of the railway line, through the lives of those who worked on it and the communities in which they lived. Drawing on interviews with former railway staff, newspaper cuttings and diaries and letters from the Highland Archives, the author has pieced together detailed portraits of families and individuals whose lives were tied to the railway they worked on. The major events of the 20th century - two World Wars, the rise of the unions and the growth of road transport - are considered in the context of their impact on the railway and its workers. Illustrated with more than 200 carefully sourced photographs, the book that is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in the Highlands, as well as railway enthusiasts. Price: £10.49 Publication: May 2005
