The Effect of Tourism on a Highland Culture: A Study of Kilchoan, Ardnamurchan
Description
A dissertation comprising five chapters. The first presents a brief history and description of the village of Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

The third chapter charts the advent and growth of tourism in the area, with sections on accommodation, types of tourists and holidays, visitor numbers, amenities and access. The fourth chapter discusses the effect of tourism on the culture of Kilchoan, in terms of the general standard of living, employment opportunities, social events and language.
