Ross and Cromarty: a pictorial souvenir
This conveniently sized hardback book is illustrated throughout with over 80 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 Ross and Cromarty.
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 uring the Year of Homecoming (Homecoming Scotland 2009).
Content: A photographic tour of the historic county of Ross and Cromarty that aims to capture its mood and illustrate the principal landmarks and places of interest. The book covers an area which extends from the gentle hills of the Black Isle to the spectacular mountains of Torridon and takes in settlements as diverse as Strathpeffer and Ullapool. Concise accompanying text dips into the history of the area. The book aims to capture the full sweep of the county in all its variety. Most of the photographs were taken especially for this book. A useful list of many visitor attractions in Ross and Cromarty and their contact details is shown at the end.
