The Highlands and Islands of Scotland by Angus Macdonald

The Highlands and Islands of Scotland by Angus Macdonald

The Highlands and Islands of Scotland are one of the most beautiful regions of Europe. Here are illustrated some of the more remarkable examples of its magnificent scenery: the ice-carved Cairngorms in the Central Highlands, Ben Nevis with the sheer cliffs of its hidden north face, the basalt columns of the island of Staffa, the white sands of Iona, and the magical islands of Loch Lomond. The impact of people on the landscape is also studied, revealing Scotlands dramatic and often tragic past: from the enigmatic ancient stones of Brodgar and Stenness on the Orkney Islands, to the fabled castles of Dunnottar and Kildrummy, and the Well of the Dead on Culloden Moor. This book presents a journey of scenic splendour, and historical interest through a unique and extraordinary country
