Details of the book
The West Highland Galley

For nearly a millennium, the West Highland Galley was the primary vehicle for island life in Scotland. Also known as the "birlinn", from the Norse, it was a small cargo ship similar to the Viking longship. This accessible book provides a full assessment of these ancient Scottish galleys, and a vital appreciation of their practical and symbolic role in medieval culture. They were crucial to the Scots for trade, exploration, invasion, and warfare. They were used to transport mercenaries to Ireland, and when the union of the crowns took place, this employment and income dried up. As Rixson shows, this in turn brought about the collapse of the Highland economy and contributed greatly to the collapse of Scotland into civil war and anarchy from the 1630's on. A Gaelic adaptation of a Norse design, the ships guaranteed the independence of the islands. The birlinns are known of through poetry and metaphor, and they can be seen in carvings and seals, but very little has been written about these ships, even though they are essential to an understanding of West Highland and Hebridean culture.
