In this new book, he distils his 50-plus years of exploration into a stunningly-illustrated travelogue, illuminated by his personal experiences. * Roly Smith * Terry Marsh has poured decades of explorations into this thought-provoking, island-adoring, south-making whistle-stop from Shetland and Orkney to Arran and Bute by way of the Outer and Inner Hebrides. Every breathless step of the way, he brings to bear a thoughtful mind and an acutely appreciative eye. This is Barra: “…every shade of blue, every temperament, every infinitesimal gradation of blue imaginable from the borders with green to the fringes of indigo…” If you know the islands well this book will kindle a hundred potent memories. If you don’t, it will kindle a hundred urges to go there and make your own memories; and it might just induce you to question why you have stayed away so long. * Jim Crumley, author of Seasons of Storm and Wonder * A glorious celebration of some of the most superb scenery in Scotland * The Rambler's Association * Few people know the Scottish islands as well as Terry Marsh. In this new book, he distils his 50-plus years of exploration into a stunningly-illustrated travelogue, illuminated by his personal experiences. * Roly Smith * Author InformationTerry Marsh is a seasoned writer and photographer of travel and walking guidebooks, and has been visiting the Scottish islands since 1968. He is the author of three walking guidebooks to the Isle of Skye, plus others to the Isle of Mull, Orkney and Shetland, the Lake District and the Isle of Man, the last of which was, just like Scotland’s islands, technically once part of the greater Viking domain.
