The Unknown Hebrides by John Macpherson

Eileach an Naoimh * the Garbh Eileach * Dun Chonnuill * Luing * Lismore * Scarba * Fladda * Belnahua * the Crowlins * South Ascrib * Priest Island * Isle Martin * Soay * Shuna * Kerrera * Eilean Macaskin Featuring two main groups of islands - the islands of the Firth of Lorne and islands of Skye and Ullapool, The Unknown Hebrides is a spectacular celebration of some of the most beautiful and yet inaccessible of Scotlands island heritage. Not simply beautiful in themselves these islands serve as spectacular vantage points for the magnificent scenery around. From the great amphitheatre of the Firth of Lorne to the grandeur of the Cuillins from Soay, this book is a unique portrait of Scotlands forgotten islands. It is also a poignant reminder of islands long abandoned by man, and industry now long forgotten.
John MacPherson was born in Fort William. He has had photographic exhibitions at Edinburgh's City Art Centre and at Buckingham Palace as well as a solo exhibition in Switzerland. Previous publications include The Nature of Scotland, Magnusson/White et al (Canongate) and The Hill above the Wood and Beinn Eighe - publications for SNH to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the inception of Beinn Eighe NNR in Wester Ross.
