About the Book:

Hugh Miller - stonemason, pioneer geologist and fossil-hunter, ground-breaking popular science writer, folklorist, crusading newspaper editor and man of faith.  Much has been made of Miller's active participation in geological research, the formation of the Free Church of Scotland, the political debates of his day and his defence of Scottish culture. But he died alone, in many ways an outcast. How did this come about?
