Another volume in the widely-read New Naturalist series, this book is an in-depth study of the natural developments & history of Galloway & surrounding areas. Often overlooked due to the reputation of natural habitat in other parts of the country, the author here conveys the diversity & magnificence of nature in the south of Scotl&. Galloway & the borders is an extremely varied region, from saltmarshes & shingle beaches to rocky islands & seabird stations. The wide range of hills, displaying a wealth of rich colours, give the area its dominant character. The varied selection of flora & fauna only add to the diversity.
