Written by two eminent naturalists, the work chronicles the ecology, geology, flora, and fauna of the Scottish Highlands and Islands with remarkable scientific rigour and passionate precision. It details the interplay between the rugged landscape and the extraordinary diversity of wildlife it supports, from red deer on the moorlands to seabirds on the dramatic coastal cliffs. The authors argue compellingly for the conservation of this fragile environment, illustrating how human activity and natural forces have shaped the region over millennia. Rich with field observation and scholarly insight, this is an essential reference for anyone with a serious interest in the natural heritage of Scotland.
