"In 1938 John Lorne Campbell bought the Isle of Canna. He wanted to prevent an island described as the jewel of the Hebrides from becoming a rich man's playground like so many other islands and Highland estates. He wanted to preserve part of the traditional Gaelic culture and show that efficient farming methods could be compatible with wildlife conservation and sustainability. This is the story of a remarkable man and his triumph over adversity, bank managers and bureaucrats to fulfil his dream."--Publisher's description.
