Hebrides
From the presenter of BBC TV's Grand Tours of the Scottish Islands
About the Author
Paul Murton has spent half-a-lifetime exploring some of the most beautiful islands in the world – the Hebrides. He has travelled the length and breadth of Scotland's rugged, six-thousand-mile coastline, and sailed to over eighty islands.
Book Content
In this new and updated edition of his acclaimed book, Paul visits each of the Hebridean islands in turn, introducing their myths and legends, history, culture, and extraordinary natural beauty. In addition, he also meets the people who live there and learns their stories.
Meet the People
He has met crofters, fishermen, tweed weavers, Gaelic singers, clan chiefs, artists, postmen, and bus drivers – people from every walk of life who make the islands tick. This blend of the contemporary and the traditional creates a vivid account of the Hebrides and serves as a unique guide to the less well-known aspects of life among the islands.
