Product Description
Review
"* 'I can imagine the book glowing in the dark. The Cuillin is far more than a collection of brilliant photos. It is a coherent whole, a homage in images, poems and prose to the best mountain ridge in Britain. Gordon Stainforth has had the last word on the subject' - Jim Curran, High Magazine * 'Gordon Stainforth's photographic tour de force... revealing him as something of a philosopher besides master landscape photographer' - Stephen Goodwin, Independent * 'A masterpiece' - Alpine Journal
Product Description
The Cuillin, on the Isle of Skye, form the finest single chain of mountains in Britain, rising straight out of the sea to a height of over 3000 feet, and presenting a landscape of light and rapidly changeable weather. This award-winning volume of photographs, taken by British photographer Gordon Stainforth, explores the savage beauty of this unique mountain region, and captures the essence of rock climbing and scrambling in the area.

Amazing pictures of an amazing mountain range,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cuillin (Paperback)
The Cuillin is like no other mountain range in the UK and probably the world. It is the place where you will find Alpine-level challenges two hours walk from the sea. It is so beautiful, so challenging and so unique that it takes some talent to really do it justice. Gordon Stainforth certainly manages that. His pictures really do justice to the tremendous scenery, his text, based on a vast experience of the area, highlights the challenges of the climbing. The Gaellic poetry mixed in his text is superb (in its English translation, I can't read Gaellic!). I bought the book after a holiday in the Cuillin when I climbed all the summits of the main ridge, and it will provide me with a precious memento of one of the best holidays of my life. Should be on the coffe table of any keen mountaineer.
