Picturing Scotland: The Outer Hebrides
Content: Following the introduction, which provides an overview of these islands, a photographic journey down the length of the Outer Hebrides from the Butt of Lewis in the north to Mingulay in the south captures its moods and illustrates the principal landmarks and places of interest. The book blends images of all manner of historic sites such as the Calanais stone circles with scenic views that capture the unique landscapes of these islands. The islands of Lewis, Harris, Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay, Barra and Mingulay all feature in this new collection of over 100 pictures, the great majority of which are published here for the first time.
Market: This is an ideal book for those who love the Western Isles and will open the eyes of those yet to discover this region. Very good value at just under £5, it also makes an ideal gift for friends and relatives and those who have family connections with Scotland. It is hoped that this book will be an encouragement for those who have never travelled to the area to make their own visit and discover some of the less well-known places it illustrates. It is especially hoped that this book will play a small part in providing a lasting memory for all those who return to their homeland as so many did during the Year of Homecoming (Homecoming Scotland 2009).
