Around the coast of Scotland there are hundreds of islands, from bare, rugged skerries to lush dominions of history and deep-rooted culture. Each offers a unique haven to explore, whether you enjoy sparkling-white sandy beaches, miles of untouched land beneath your feet, nature-spotting among otters, puffins, seals and more, sampling the finest whisky and cheeses, or learning more about Scotland's history.
Exploring Scotland's Islands describes the main island groups in all their moods, and focuses on what gives these islands such magical and lasting appeal. This book is a glorious celebration in words, maps, illustrations and photographs of some of the most superb scenery in Scotland. Discover why these unique isles draw those lucky enough to find them back to visit whenever they can.
Among captivating descriptive text and beautiful photography, Exploring Scotland's Islands also provides the reader with essential visitor information such as transport links, the most inspiring visitor attractions and sights to see, cafés and restaurants not to be missed, and where you can stay to make your visits all the more special.

A glorious celebration of some of the most superb scenery in Scotland
Few people know the Scottish islands as well as Terry Marsh. In this new book, he distils his 50-plus years of exploration into a stunningly-illustrated travelogue, illuminated by his personal experiences.
Terry Marsh has poured decades of explorations into this thought-provoking, island-adoring, south-making whistle-stop from Shetland and Orkney to Arran and Bute by way of the Outer and Inner Hebrides. Every breathless step of the way, he brings to bear a thoughtful mind and an acutely appreciative eye. This is Barra: ".every shade of blue, every temperament, every infinitesimal gradation of blue imaginable from the borders with green to the fringes of indigo."
If you know the islands well this book will kindle a hundred potent memories. If you don't, it will kindle a hundred urges to go there and make your own memories; and it might just induce you to question why you have stayed away so long.
