Hardback. Dustjacket. Both in Near Fine condition. 228 pages. Not inscribed. Illustrated with many black and white illustrations, full page coloured photographs and Maps. A world of wind and rain. Dazzling white beaches and skies of flawless blue. The essence of North Uist lies in its extremes. The great beauty of the landscape contrasts with the ugliness of the townships, the uninhabited desolation of the moorlands, one of the few wilderness areas remaining in Britain, and the vivacity of the machair and croftlands, studded with flowers and teeming with birdlife. The weather demonstrates the fundamental extremes of storm and calm. Peat cutting on the moors and corn stacking during golden harvest days are a welcome involvement with traditional island agriculture where corncrakes and crofters, skylarks and sowers co-exist in unique harmony. In an atmospheric evocation of the island, its close knit community of crofters and its abundant wildlife, the author defines its quintessential qualities, and shares with us a summer idyll.
