Review:

'This book will appeal to Scots everywhere and to those who visit'. Scottish Island Explorer -------------------- ' - a new picture history of Scotland's people, buildings and landscape. Richly illustrated with almost 300 stunning colour photographs, it looks at Scotland through a number of themed texts and accompanying photo-essays, covering the country from north to south, and from the Western Isles to the east coast.' Historic Scotland '...is a lovely book that works very well on a number of different levels... ...this is a book that continues to delight as you delve deeper: not least because of the range of the subject matter on offer. This is a book that will be enjoyed by visitors and newcomers to Scotland and by those who have lived here all their lives. It's certainly one we'd strongly recommend to anyone wanting a feel for the sheer range of what the country has to offer.' Undiscovered Scotland '...the superb range of photographs. ... The format, very readable text and the outstanding photographs make it a very tactile book and an invaluable guide to not only the present but also the history and heritage of Scotland.' Highland News, North Star, Lochaber News 'We learn how tantalising reminders of our turbulent history remain through the landscapes and buildings where the past was played out...' Scottish Memories
