Among Islands by Jim Crumley
Reflecting on 25 years of travelling around the islands of Scotland, the author of this book recounts the time he has spent island-lingering, from Shetland and Orkney in the north, to Islay and Jura in the south. The author calls for a more considered and caring attitude towards these landscapes, their wildlife tribes and the human communities which inhabit them.
