The book provides a comprehensive account of the Dee Valley, located in the north-east of Scotland, from its earliest times to the present day. The author covers a wide range of topics, including the geography, geology, and natural history of the region, as well as the early inhabitants, the Picts and the Celts. Mackintosh also examines the impact of the Romans, the Vikings, and the Normans on the region, as well as the development of the feudal system and the growth of the Scottish monarchy. The author delves into the history of the local towns and villages, including Aberdeen, Banchory, and Ballater, and discusses the role of the Dee Valley in the Scottish Wars of Independence and the Jacobite rebellions. The book also covers the development of the Dee Valley's industries, such as agriculture, forestry, and fishing, as well as the growth of tourism in the area. Mackintosh provides a detailed account of the construction of the Dee Valley Railway, which opened up the region to visitors and helped to transform the local economy. Overall, History of the Valley of the Dee: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day is an informative and engaging book that provides a fascinating insight into the history and development of one of Scotland's most beautiful regions.
