Fully revised and updated and liberally illustrated with the author’s own paintings, this beautiful guide will take readers to every Scottish island, whether by armchair or yacht. From the
abandoned crofts of Mingulay and the standing stones of Orkney to the white beaches of Colonsay and the spectacular Cuillins of Skye, this is the first complete gazetteer to cover all of
Scotland’s many hundreds of islands, including those which are uninhabited and those which are notoriously difficult to reach. Packed with information on access, anchorages, points of
historical or natural interest, and things to do and see, this fascinating compendium provides indispensable information for touring, for browsing, for reference, and for all of those
travelers who wish to experience some of the most beautiful and remote places in the world. No other book begins to emulate the range and depth of the information contained inThe
Scottish Islands. Complete with the author’s own paintings, full-color illustrations, and relief maps of all the main islands, this is both an impressive work of reference and a
fascinating personal view of Scotland’s distant outposts.
