The book definitely whets the appetite for a visit to the Scottish islands, and provides a pretty comprehensive overview of what to expect once you get there. Scottish Field Not only provides the intrepid traveller with a fascinating insight into the history, flora and fauna of more than 120 islands, but also contains valuable information on how to get there, what to see, where to stay and island walks. Northern Scot Island going has an appeal for people and this is a superb book as an introduction and exploration point to these idyllic places. Highland News For anyone who may be interested in learning about and perhaps visiting these very unique, remote and historically rich places. Outdoor Photography Geologically unique and steeped in history, the unspoilt beauty of the islands of Scotland is brought to life in this book, which is at once a photographic album for the armchair traveller and a guidebook for those feeling a little more energetic.
