TOM ATKINSON
TOM
ATKINSON, along with his wife Rene, founded
Luath Press in Barr, Ayrshire in 1981. Tom had recently
returned to Scotland and, finding there were no good
descriptive guides to the popular parts of Scotland,
set about writing and publishing the Luath Guides Series.
Other books by other writers followed including a number
of popular titles that have remained in print for many
years, such as Mountain
Days and Bothy Nights, Bare
Feet and Tackety Boots, Highland
Geology Trail, Red
Sky at Night and more. Tom retired from Luath Press
in 1997, but continues to contribute to the company,
most recently with the Napier's History book,
which he wrote with his daughter, Dee. |
TOM'S BOOKS
The
North West Highlands
The obvious beauty and hidden delights of the mountainous
lands from Fort William to Ullapool. |
The Northern Higlands
"The essence of Scotland's far north and west is
emptiness. Emptiness of people, that is, but of nothing
else that brings delight to any tired soul" |
The
West Highlands
A guide book to Inveraray, Glencoe, Loch Awe, Loch
Lomond, Cowal, the Kyles of Bute, and all of Argyll. |
South
West Scotland

Poems to be Read Aloud
Tom's personal selection of doggerel and
verse ranging from the tear-jerking Green Eye of the
Yellow God to the rarely-printed, bawdy Eskimo Nell.
Much borrowed and rarely returned, this is a very popular
book. Great stuff for reading aloud in good company,
preferably after a dram or two. |
