Elizabeth Grant lived through stirring times of great historical interest, this first volume of her memoirs is striking for its descriptive power and the accuracy of first person account of life among this privileged aristocracy of Scotland's ancient landowning chieftains. It would be a valid criticism to note that her world view (despite extensive travel) rarely breached the extended laterals of her family and its connections but that for me is a source of its value. Here I find an illuminating vision of life at the top as all that turmoil of politics was abrew.. It is not only a good read, though perhaps guilty of prolixity, its a fascinatingly honest and rare insight to a world most of us can only be strangers to..
