Isles of the West by Ian Mitchell

This book describes a three-month sea voyage made around the Hebrides. Interwoven with the beauty of the environment and the friendliness of the locals is the vision of the Highlands and islands as an unspoilt natural tapestry that must be preserved at all costs from the ravages of humans.
