The Magic of Scotland’s Outer Isles

Brigid Benson
Brigid Benson’s lyrical prose captures the elusive essence of Scotland's Outer Hebrides in this well-illustrated volume. Spanning the archipelago's length from Lewis and Harris to Barra and Vatersay, she explores their contrasting landscapes, showcasing the rugged coastlines, sea lochs, white sand beaches, dramatic uplands, and wildflower machairs that characterize these windswept islands, as well as their ancient landmarks and vibrant communities.
