Abstract
This work is unique for its thorough social and historical description of what Stephensen identifies as the 'mainland Highlands' community of Ford. Subject, like the rest of the Highlands, to economic uncertainty and its attendant loss of population, Ford has nevertheless managed to attract newcomers (mainly English people) and to develop as the site of a fairly dynamic lumbering industry. While never a crofting area, Ford had a number of 'Estates' whose historical transformations are described by the author.
