Product Description
Synopsis
This new title is a collection of evocative accounts of journeys through the landscape and seasons of the remote and beautiful Far North of Scotland. The book is based on material from the column 'Out and About with Ralph' which has appeared in the 'Caithness Courier' over many years and is illustrated with delightful drawings by Moira Webster. Ralph's exploits, on foot and by bike, take you through the lesser-known parts of the Scottish Highlands and Islands in sunshine and in storm, as well as occasionally to Northern England and even the Alps. From Millennium night on a mountain top to swimming all the lochs in Caithness, from the West Highland Way in January to the wild flowers of July, the book is well summarised in Ralph's motto - Live adventurously! The book is a must for anyone who loves the outdoors and especially the Highlands of Scotland.
