The Northern Highlands by Tom Atkinson

The Empty Lands are that great area of northern Scotland between Ullapool and Cape Wrath, and between Bonar Bridge and John O' Groats. It is truly the Land of the Mountain and the Flood, where land and sea mingle in unsurpassed glory.

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

Gentlemen, we have just returned from a six-week stay in Scotland. I am convinced that Tom Atkinson is the best guidebook author I have ever read, about any place, any time. EDWARD TAYLOR, Los Angeles
