Buachaille: At Home in the Highlands

by Kate Davies, Tom Barr (Contributor), Gordon Anderson (Contributor)

The author/designer presents patterns for knitting with wool from the Scottish Highlands. The yarn is called Buachaille -- a Scottish Gaelic word which means herdsman, and which is also associated with two famous Scottish mountains. Several recipes for traditional Scottish food are included, along with a mapped "walk in the Highlands."
