Roderick MacCowan

Following the visit of the itinerant evangelist John Farquharson in 1805, and the conversion of the blind fiddler Donald Munro, the Isle of Skye was greatly blessed with a number of revivals and with a succession of godly men. First published in 1902, this book sought to perpetuate the memories of the worthy "fathers" of Skye. Roderick MacCowan's hope was that "the example of their lives may serve as a stimulus to many." At a time when true religion is rapidly retreating in Skye, it is right to remember what the island was like, and, by God's grace, will be like once again.
