About this book:
This book deals with the vast and lovely area lying to the north and west of Fort William, and going up through the Highlands as far as Ullapool. It is a land of still unspoiled loveliness, of mountain, loch and silver sand. It is a vast, quiet land of peace and grandeur. Atkinson will take you along General Wade’s military roads, incorporating the splendour of Eilean Donan Castle, Ardnamurchan Point and the delightful fishing port of Mallaig. Legend, history and vivid description are combined to make this book essential to all who visit this Highland wonderland.
Reviews:
Here, you will find ‘that curious pastiche of myths and legend and history that the Scots use to describe their heritage... A lively counterpoint to the more standard, detached guidebook... Intriguing. THE WASHINGTON POST
