Description:


'Coffin roads' along which bodies were carried for burial are a marked feature of the landscape of the Scottish Highlands and islands – many are now popular walking and cycling routes. This book journeys along eight coffin roads to discover and explore the distinctive traditions, beliefs and practices around dying, death and mourning in the communities which created and used them.

The result is a fascinating snapshot into place and culture. After more than a century when death was very much a taboo subject, this book argues that aspects of the distinctive West Highland and Hebridean way of death and approach to dying and mourning may have something helpful and important to offer to us today.

Routes covered in this book are:

The Kilmartin Valley – the archetypal coffin road in this ritual landscape of the dead.

The Street of the Dead on Iona – perhaps the best known coffin road in Scotland.

Kilearnadil Graveyard, Jura – a perfect example of a Hebridean graveyard.

The coffin road through Morvern to Keil Church, Lochaline - among the best defined and most evocative coffin roads today.

The Green Isle, Loch Shiel, Ardnamurchan - the oldest continuously used burial place anywhere in Europe.

The coffin road on Eigg – with its distinctive ‘piper’s cairn’ where the coffin of Donald MacQuarrie, the 'Great Piper of Eigg', was rested.

The coffin road from Traigh Losgaintir to Loch Stocinis on Harris - popular with walkers and taken as the title for a best-selling thriller by Peter May.

The coffin road on Barra – A detailed study of burial practices on Barra in the early 1950

It feels very good on the skin.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this sunscreen for about a week now, and honestly, I’ve liked it even more than I expected. The skin on my face feels much softer and healthier, and one thing I’ve definitely noticed is that my dark circles are gradually looking a bit lighter and less tired. I love it because it doesn’t feel heavy, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. I also like that it works well under makeup or just on its own for everyday use. For now, I’m giving it 4 stars because I haven’t been using it for very long yet and want to see more results, but so far, I definitely feel a difference in my skin. If I continue to see more positive changes, I’ll come back to update my review.

Blends nicely, is not greasy.

Light, blends nicely into skin. Does a good job of blocking the sun. I will buy it again before the summer is over.

Feels like nothing!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Fantastic! I never write reviews but this is incredible. Just as advertised it dries quickly, doesn’t feel oily and doesn’t leave marks. And the coverage is no joke in this AZ sun! Held up during Memorial Day weekend at the pool all day. Excellent all around!

Works for me, feels gentle, a few trade offs versus this brands spf 100
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just got this yesterday so I’ve used it for half the day yesterday and half the day today so far. I think its much more moisturizing and heavy then say a standard Korean sunscreen which is what i usually use. I also have used this brands spf 100 lotion which i love. This one feels nice, very similar to the spf 100 but doesnt burn my eyes. It’s a bit harder to rub in then their spf 100, a bit thicker but its a bit less oily. It feels gentle to me, i have sensitive skin, eczema, and acne and i like it so far. I have to rub it in twice though, first to apply then again to break up the settled stuff around my nose and eyes. If you have a lot of lines in your face this might not be a good fit, id go for the spf 100 from la roche-posay. But the trade off is this one is less oily, and the other is more oily. This one is fine around my eyes, the other can burn. So it’s up to you really.
