"Paul Murton journeys the length and breadth of the spectacularly beautiful Scottish Highlands. In addition to bringing a
fresh eye to popular destinations such as Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and the Cairngorms, he also visits some
remote and little-known locations hidden off the beaten track.
Throughout his travels, Paul meets a host of modern Highlanders, from caber tossers and gamekeepers to lairds to
pipers. With an instinct for the unusual, he uncovers some strange tales, myths and legends along the way: stories of
Jacobites, clan warfare, murder and cattle rustling fill each chapter – as well as some hilarious anecdotes based on his
extensive personal experience of a place he loves to call home." |
