The Highlands And Islands Of Scotland

The Highlands and Islands of Scotland are one of the most beautiful regions of Europe. Here are some of the most remarkable examples of its magnificent scenery: the ice-carved Cairngorms, Ben Nevis with the sheer cliffs of its hidden north face, the basalt columns of the island of Staffa, and the magical islands of Loch Lomond.

The impact of people on the landscape is also studied, revealing Scotland's dramatic past: from the ancient stones of Brodgar and Stennes on the Orkney Islands, to the fabled castles of Dunnottar and Kildrummy, and the Well of the Dead on Culloden Moor.

This book is a journey of scenic splendour and historical interest, through an extraordinary country.
