Lying off the south-western tip of Mull, the island of Iona has huge significance as the first important centre of Christianity in Scotl&. But the Abbey itself is built upon rocks that tell of events of much greater antiquity: the Lewisian gneisses of western Iona are some of the oldest rocks in the world. Alan Mc Kirdy explores the fascinating geology of the area
- in particular the eruption of two major volcanoes around 60 million years ago whose magma chambers formed the spectacular hills & glens of the Ardnamurchan peninsula & Glen More on Mull; & the Ice Age, when glaciers ripped away much of the upper part of the two volcanoes & sandpapered the landscape to create the rounded contours we see today.

Mull, Iona & Staffa is Malcolm Mac Gregor's second book of landscape photography in Scotl&. Here he has travelled throughout these three islands in pursuit of Hebridean light.

The photographs in this book cover mountains, hills, coastline, rivers & isolated gems such as waterfalls & frozen hill lochs. in addition he has photographed churches, castles, ancient graveyards, fishing vessels, celtic crosses, standing stones & remnants of a bygone age bringing a fresh perspective to these renowned islands. The accompanying text weaves the landscape into the life, history & some of the legends that continue today. It also covers some of the lesser known aspects & viewpoints of the islands revealing why visitors & pilgrims return here to encounter unique experiences both visually & of a spiritual nature. ...

This is an A-Z of seamanship skills for multihull sailors. There are many textbooks on the market which detail general seamanship principles. This is not one of them. Multihull Seamanship is about sea-going catamarans & trimarans & the skills needed to understand & enjoy them to their utmost. Both racing & cruising yachts are catered for, as are trailer-able multihulls. Seamanship is not a black & white skill. It is an evolution of knowledge; a building of information through experiment, thought & experience. There is no definitive word on an evolving skill. Multihull Seamanship started as Dr Gavin Le Sueur’s personal index of ‘how-to’s. It has grown through experience & others sharing their knowledge. It should be on the bookshelf of every catamaran & trimaran. This book is for people who are already multihull sailors, or for those who are contemplating multihull sailing. It has served this community for over 20 years & this second edition is fully updated. It is illustrated with delightful line drawings by Nigel Allison. ...
