This book is a painstaking and independent account of the famous Pairc Estate community buyout which has become a landmark case in the history of land reform in Scotland. It describes in detail the many challenges faced by the small Pairc community in seeking to purchase their estate in a remote part of the Isle of Lewis. It sets out conclusions and lessons to be learned from this 13-year-long but ultimately successful struggle.
