A Childhood in Scotland

by Christian Miller

Published 7 September 1981

'When I was a little girl, the ghosts were more real to me than the people.'

In this perceptive and unpretentious autobiography Christian Miller recalls her privileged but at the same time deprived upper-class childhood in a castle in Scotland.

Through the eye and ears of a 1920s child who seems to have seen and heard everything within the massive granite walls of her home, she gives us a unique insight into what must surely have been one of the last relics of feudal life.
