Where Seagulls Dare: Best of the Highlands & Islands

The Highlands of Scotland is a spectacularly beautiful land of awe-inspiring mountains, dark valleys, windswept moorlands and an astonishing range of birds and wildlife. It is Europes last wilderness.From sheltered fishing villages to baronial mansions, fertile farmland to massive oilrig fabrication yards, sandy beaches to forbidding peat bogs, palm trees and sub-tropical plants to isolated lochs and rushing rivers, bustling market towns to dolphins cavorting in the coastal waters ... and so much more. This is a land of contrast and complexity.In this very different guide to the region, two native Highlanders present their selection of the twenty-five areas which everyone should visit to appreciate and enjoy this stunning land.Iain and Rab will take you, in an entertainingly informative manner and with a blend of humorous anecdotes and personal observations, through the fascinating history and the current reality, and the cultural heritage and unequalled splendour of the region.
