Original language:
This is the first biography of the man who did more than anyone else to create the modern image of the Highland Scot, made possible by the author's unique access to Stewart of Garth's papers.David Stewart of Garth wrote the book that has underpinned every subsequent account of the highlands and Highlanders. His attacks on his fellow lairds over the Clearances led to his being suspected of radicalism. He created the image of the Clansman, which still largely ideentifies his country to itself as well as to the world. Through his letters and writings, David Stewart comes vividly to life as a Regency Scot on the make - a gallant soldier, proud to associate with royalty and the aristocracy, and desperate for the money to keep up appearances and save his family from dishonour. 'He was the kindest, the gentlest, the best - without guile himself, and unsuspicious of it in other men - free from all manner of envy and uncharitableness - upright, generous, and friendly almost to a fault, and probably most generally esteemed and beloved by any other man of his time.' - obituary in the North Briton.'A readable, detailed and sympathetic account of his life, which I had not thought possible believing there to be a poverty of record' - John Pebble.
