The West Highlands by John Macpherson

The area of Scotland from Lochaber to Durness is one of the most spectacular and isolated in Scotland. It is a landscape cut with great sea lochs and towering mountains. It is the heartland of the Scottish clans and it was here that the Jacobite cause lingered longest and with greatest force. As well as being a barrier these mountains and lochs were also an artery across Scotland. It was up the Great Glen that Columba travelled to convert the Picts, it was through the passes that Montrose swept to rout the Campbells at Inverlochy. It is a land rich in relics and magnificent scenery
John MacPherson was born in Fort William. He has had photographic exhibitions at Edinburgh's City Arts 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.
