"The Highland estate is under threat -- and with it is disappearing an ecological balance. Sometimes critical of Highland landlords, Michael Wigan examines conservation, employment and economics on that often misunderstood entity, the Highland sporting estate. With estates being increasingly sub-divided, planted-up or managed with single-interest objectives, he argues for traditional estate units run on modern, scientific liens. ... [His] arguments for mixed land use, in the form of traditional sporting estates, offer a solution to the increasing pressures threatening that legendary landscape known as 'God's Country'." (dj).
