South West Scotland by Tom Atkinson

The lovely land of hills, moors and beaches is bounded by the Atlantic and the Solway. Steeped in history and legend, still unspoiled, it is a land whose peace and grandeur are at least comparable to the Highlands, and yet it is hardly known. No area of Scotland better repays exploration than this. From the Auld Kirk of Alloway where tales of Tam O'Shanter resound, to the legends of St Ninian at one of Scotland's earliest Christian sites, Whithorn, this region is lovingly described by a local author, who will explore with you the splendour of Culzean Castle and delights of Wanlockhead, Scotland's highest village.

Tom Atkinson founded Luath Press in Barr, Ayrshire. Tom has written extensively on his love of the Scottish landscape in our Luath Guides to Scotland series. He continues to write for Luath Press; most recently in Napiers History of Herbal Healing, the story of the successful Edinburgh-based herbalists, and the untold story of the RAF Servicing Commandos in Spectacles, Testicles, Fags and Matches.
