Drawing on previously unpublished documents in the Public Record Office, the company archive, and other original sources, the binocular models made by Scotland's greatest optical manufacturers are identified, assessed and placed in their historical context. Barr & Stroud's successful effort to win contracts to supply binoculars to the Royal Navy are chronicled, as are their less happy endeavours to compete worldwide with the German giants Zeiss and Goerz. The author brings to his interpretation of documentary material the experience gained in two decades of studying instruments in British and foreign collections and countless markets, and a lifetime of handling binoculars as bird-watcher, infantry officer, deerstalker and collector.
