In the very north of Britain, far from the bustling cities & picturesque countryside to the south, lies Western Europe’s greatest wilderness: the Scottish Highlands.

This is a land shaped by the flow of ancient ice, where snow-capped mountains tower over ink-black lochs, Golden Eagles soar over heather-clad moors, & Red Deer stags engage in mortal combat for the right to win a mate. Along the coast, sea cliffs & offshore islands teem with millions of seabirds, while the seas themselves are home to Basking Sharks, Orcas & Bottlenose Dolphins. The Highlands may at first sight seem bleak & desolate, but they are also filled with secret wonders, from the ancient Caledonian pine forests to the vast Flow Country, & from the sheer granite cliffs of Handa to the mysterious depths of Loch Ness.

This lavish companion to the BBC TV series of the same name features Stephen Moss’s thoughtful, authoritative text accompanied throughout by spectacular photography from Laurie Campbell.

This hardback book has 272 pages & measures: 28.6 x 25.6 x 2cm
