It is difficult to find an area of Argyll which is not curious in some way: archaeology, geography, geology and genealogy. Discarding those curiosities which it is all too easy to find on any journey through the county, this book looks into places, people and events which are curiously layered.

Introduces the varied aspects of lost Argyll, showing how ancient and relatively modern landscapes have changed inexorably, often with little thought for conservation or preservation. This book looks not only at lost architectural heritage of Argyll but also at its lost industries, ferries, roads, bridges, and archaeological monuments.
