Picturing Scotland: Loch Lomond, Cowal & Bute
Content: Following the introduction, which provides an overview of Eastern Argyll, a photographic journey from the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, around the Cowal Peninsula and the delightful Isle of Bute captures its moods and illustrates the principal landmarks and places of interest. From the heights of the southern group of the Arrochar Alps in winter to the beaches and harbours of Bute in summer, all manner of scenes can be enjoyed. Woodland gardens such as those at Benmore and Ardkinglas, resorts like Dunoon and Rothesay and houses including Mount Stuart and the Hill House in Helensburgh all play their part in the panoply of visual treats in this new collection of around 80 pictures, the great majority of which are published here for the first time.
Market: This is an ideal book for those who love Argyll 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).
