Scotland's Landscapes by James Crawford

Scotland's Landscapes by James Crawford

The third book in a series showcasing Scotland's National Collection of Aerial Photography. Features some of the most recent high quality photography of the nation, divided into four chapters that capture the essence and uniqueness of Scotland's landscapes: Islands, Highlands, Lowlands and Coastlines.

'Scotland's Landscapes is full to bursting with truly breathtaking scenes from the country's every corner - the various items from the National Collection of Aerial Photography assembled here show that Scotland may have been built and roughly shaped by geomorphological processes, but the crucial touches were bestowed by human history'

* The Scotsman *

'A visually stunning book from the team which brought us Victorian Scotland, Above Scotland, and Above Scotland - Cities. They have produced another cracking coffee table book over which devotees of Scotland can pore for hours ... A must-have for those who would like to know Scotland better.'

* Scottish Field *

'It is easy to understand the fascination of aerial photographs. Firstly, not everybody can take them. Secondly, not everybody gets to fly over the Highlands and Islands on a cloudless day and see them from above. And thirdly, they can be absolutely heartstopping. There is a photograph from the sky of Vatersay in Scotland's Landscapes. I would almost sooner look at this photo than be there.'

-- Roger Hutchinson, author of Calum's Road
