Riddoch on the Outer Hebrides

Riddoch on the Outer Hebrides is a thought-provoking commentary based on broadcaster Lesley Riddoch's cycle journey through a beautiful island chain facing seismic cultural and economic change. Her experience is described in a typically affectionate but hard-hitting style; with humour, anecdote and a growing sympathy for islanders tired of living at the margins but wary of closer contact with mainland Scotland.

Let's be proud of standing on the outer edge of a crazy mainstream world - when the centre collapses, the periphery becomes central.
ALASTAIR McINTOSH

A thoughtful, timely and wonderfully contentious commentary on Scotland's dysfunctional relationship with 21st century Gaeldom. Well informed, well observed, provocative, hard-headed, wrong-headed and inspired in equal measure, opening up a whole new level of engagement with 'the Gaelic issue'.
