Scottish Life And Poetry PDF Download

Excerpt from Scottish Life and Poetry Perhaps the most remarkable type of prehistoric home is that which is known as the crannog, or lake-dwelling. The idea of such dwellings was really an interpretation and adaptation of Nature's own example. It was evident to all that an immeasurably superior security was to be found on an insular position, and that for purposes of defence it was desirable, where necessary, even to create an island for such a purpose. Judging from results it would seem that this was done by setting adrift rafts of brushwood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
