Product Description

Review

'As a reference source Haswell-Smith's book is invaluable ... a monumental labour of love that communicates the author's own passion for island hopping and combines it delightfully with his further talents as a painter and artist.' Daily Telegraph

Scotsman

The best book for tootling around skerries and sea-stacks . . . this has it all. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book, 21 Nov 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: The Scottish Islands (Hardcover)

I've bought this book for many friends and all have enjoyed its wonderful description of the scottish islands. I've sailed with it as an indispensible reference and toured the islands by car with it on the passenger seat! Great reference book with descriptons, maps and facts on all the islands, even the smallest one. A real gem.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my husband. He loves it, very informative and very beautifully illustrated. We both want to head to the islands again soon.

The newspaper reviewers who describe this as ideal for island hoping are indulging their journalistic licence. This is definitely not a pilot nor even a guide book. Read more
