"At Home in Tay Valley"

At Home in Tay Valley is a fascinating and diverse anthology richly illustrated with maps, paintings and photographs, plus the tales, family recollections and special memories of those who know it best – the people of Tay Valley.

It weaves together the history of the Omamìwìnini, the arrival of the first European settlers in 1816 describing their economic, schooling and community life, and the 20^th century arrivals; the cottagers, campers and back-to-the landers.
