This book is arranged in the form of a journey around Orkney that begins and ends with what approaching (and departing) travellers see from the Scrabster to Stromness ferry. As Stromness is situated on the western edge of Orkney's Mainland, it is a good point from which to begin a broadly circular tour which takes in most of the 17 inhabited islands. There is an astonishing density of ancient sites from the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages, coastal scenery that tests the credulity in its often gravity-defying qualities and pastoral vistas that sooth the senses. If those attributes were not enough, add in a charming capital with magnificent cathedral, a wealth of wildlife that will entrance nature lovers and a huge array of defensive remnants from both world wars. The book contains 110 pictures.

This title takes the reader on a photographic tour of Lochaber.
A photographic tour of the 'Winged Isle' that aims to capture its mood and illustrate the principal landmarks and places of interest. The book works its way around the island from the Skye Bridge down to Sleat in the south, then northwards in a series of excursions into the various peninsulas that make up so much of it.
