A meticulous history of a Highland family that acquired huge estates in Pembrokeshire by marriage and in Carmarthenshire by an inheritance. Undoubtedly academic, rather disappointingly illustrated (small, no colour) and expensive, it is nevertheless deeply fascinating: a long, serious look at how these estates flourished or declined, and what their relationship with the wider world was. JD was the archivist in Carmarthen Record Office where the Welsh part of the Cawdor archive was lodged for many years.
