Notes:
Provides an overview of the history of leisure and recreation in Scotland, an area not this far covered by a wide ranging scholarly text, focusing on the experience of the industry's major segments: organised sport; visual and performing arts; consumption of drink; tourism, heritage and the 'great outdoors'; together with an account titled 'Recreation for all, 1950-2000'. This forms part of a five volume publication containing teaching and learning materials [Vols I&2]; commissioned essays [Vols 3&4]; reader articles reprinted from elsewhere [Vol 5] as an aid to undergraduate studies in modern Scottish history, notably at Dundee and the Open Universities
