Working with the help of scientists and conservationists, including those on the staff of the National Trust for Scotland, wildlife photographer Niall Benvie has compiled a portrait of the creatures which we all think of as characteristically Scottish - red deer, pine martens, otters, mountain hares and red squirrels among the mammals, and birds such as golden eagle, ptarmigan, and red and black grouse. In all 73 species are illustrated in photographs, mostly the author's own, and described in a text which focuses upon the status of endangered species and threatened habitats, and the efforts which are being made to preserve them and, in some cases, to re-introduce species that have been lost to Scotland in the past.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and knowledgable, 24 Jun 2004

By	Myrtle "featherandquill" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Liberally illustrated with outstandingly beautiful colour photographs you may well be forgiven for thinking this would be a smart choice for the coffee table. But the incisive and topical text makes it far more than this - a book to read cover to cover. Even that rarely visited place, the Introduction, was interesting and thought provking. Species are divided into chapters dominated by their habitat e.g uplands, sea and shore etc.
