Professor Hanham has made the very odd editorial decision to exclude nearly all Buckle's remarks about the highlands “because they were so manifestly based on prejudiced sources”. Buckle's whole history is so idiosyncratic and, as we shall see, based on so many complicated prejudices that you really cannot pick and choose among them; if you excised them all there would be nothing left.Google Scholar
