This is the work of a man who has known & loved the Scottish Cairngorms for more than 30 years. Jim Crumley marries a poet`s instincts to an uncompromising passion for the Cairngorm`s arctic character, & for those wildlife tribes which thrive there. He marks nature`s rhythms with thoughtful observations of bird & beast, flower & landscape. In the process he strives for a purer empathy with the wilds, seeks out the nourishing bond of man & landscape. Ultimately, the book asserts that the Cairngorms are nature`s place. Crumley proposes a radical solution to safeguard the mountains from a threatening array of forces ranged against them. In his conclusion he invokes what Seton Gordon called ”the spirit of the high & lonely places”. ...
