Product Description

Prof. Graeme Whittington, Scottish Geographical Magazine

It is a technically-sound, up-to-date and well-referenced view of the physical nature of the Outer Hebrides. The writing is clear, helped along by anecdote and shows the sympathy for and empathy with the landscape that might be expected from a professional conservationist of local origin.

Product Description

This is a natural history of the islands in the Outer Hebrides - Lewis, Harris, the Uists and Benbecula and Barra, with their outlying islets. This, the first of three volumes, gives an account of Hebridean geology, landforms and climate, followed by a resume of findings on glaciation in the region. The chapters on coastal development and erosion contain newly-researched material, and the volume concludes with a chapter on climate and soils.
