Product Description

This is the first ever comprehensive guide to the many ways in which wild plants have been used in Scotland from prehistoric times to the present day. To our ancestors, every growing thing had a role to play in daily life-as an ingredient for food, as medicine, as a dye or as fooder for livestock. Tess Darwin reveals the forgotten secrets of Scottish plant lore in fascinating detail.
