An fhaochag agus a' mhuc-mhara

This work guides the reader towards examining the nature of Scottish postcards and how the Scots and Scotland have been portrayed through the ages in postcard art, from the tartan clad highlander to the heather clad moors and hills.

The narrative offers an analysis of this depiction and several possible interpretations of how Scottish postcards have reflected the stereotyped notions which others hold of the Scots.
