Northern Argyll: a pictorial souvenir

This conveniently sized hardback book is illustrated throughout with over 90 photographs. It provides a degree and style of regional coverage not widely available and is part of a series of regional Scottish books. The introduction, which provides an overview of the area, is followed by a photographic tour of Northern Argyll.

Market: This is an ideal book for those who love Scotland and all things Scottish and for those who do not know Scotland at all. 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).

Content: A photographic tour of the northern half of Argyll that aims to capture its moods and illustrate the principal landmarks and places of interest. Starting in the north, it works its way down through the modern-day county of Argyll and Bute in zigzag fashion with the aim of illustrating as many as possible of the county's finest views. These are wide-ranging so as to show the great variety of sights and experiences to be found in the area. After east-west meanderings, including the islands of Mull and Iona, it covers the land as far south as Kilmartin, the heart of one of Scotland's richest archaeological landscapes. Illustrated with over 90 colour photographs, most of which have been taken especially for this book. A useful list of many visitor attractions in Northern Argyll and their contact details is shown at the end.

Author: Colin Nutt has worked in book publishing for 30 years and has written or compiled over a dozen books in a previous series.
