Product Description
Review
'full of hardness and tenderness, close to mountain, burn and the sea, and in its prose there is an ever-present music' - Punch 'A beguiling picture of Highland boyhood. To read this book is to realize what spiritual riches the Highland survival can add to twentieth-century industrialised society' - Aberdeen Press and Journal 'a deeply felt book...recalls with candour the wayward impulses of growing-up' - New Statesman
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Hardcover
Expertly researched(including a moving section on one of the many U-boat wrecks on this coast) well illustrated account by the foremost authority on Scottish shipwrecks. Written by an ex diver, the book adds the detail that the Gordon Ridley books left out. If you are interested in Scotland's local and maritime history, then this is the book for you.
