In 1961 Dr John Green of Sussex bought Raasay House and other properties on the Island of Raasay.

Over the ensuing years, Dr Green, Inverness County Council and the Highlands & Islands Development Board became embroiled in lengthy talks regarding his properties on the island. During that time, he refused to sell a small parcel of land to enable a ferry terminal to be built, visited the island only one or two times and allowed his properties to decay to the point whereby they where all in a state of dereliction.

In 1980 the HIDB finally bought the last of Dr Greens properties.

The actions of an uncaring absentee landlord or the result of inefficient civil servants and political interference?

This book tells all.

In ""Dr Green of Sussex and the Island of Raasay"" Barry Turner
has probably related the definitive version of this story.
His research has been extraordinarily thorough and his analysis
is forensic. This book is itself a lesson in investigative writing.
