Product Description
From the abandoned crofts of Mingulay to the standing stones of Orkney, from the white beaches of Colonsay to the spectacular Cuillins of Skye, this is a complete gazetteer covering all of Scotland's many hundreds of islands, including both those which are uninhabited and those which are notoriously difficult to reach. Packed with information on access, anchorages, points of historical or natural interest, and things to see and do, this compendium provides useful information for touring, for browsing, for reference, and for all those travellers who wish to sail to some of the most beautiful and remote places in the world. The varied geology of the islands is documented in depth, and each island is fully mapped.
