Focusing on the flora of Colonsay, this work offers a detailed exploration of the island's plants, their local names, uses, and associated legends. Compiled by the author during his convalescence, it reflects a comprehensive effort to document the island's biodiversity, alongside insights into its climate and geological features. The book also touches on Gaelic names for birds and fishes, and while it aims to highlight the unique aspects of Colonsay, it acknowledges limitations in referencing historical industries and folklore, emphasizing the significance of the island's natural heritage.
