For the first time in paperback, Mairi Hedderwick is at her inimitable best in this highly acclaimed and popular travelogue of her Highland journey. Following the success of An Eye on the Hebrides, Mairi Hedderwick was urged to embark on further travels. It was no easy task. A new journey, with its inherent deprivations and discomforts, could not be done to order. It had to be a compulsion - an inspiration. The vital ingredients came to her whilst on holiday. 'I came across J T Reid's Art Rambles in the Highlands and Islands in a cottage in Skye. As I thumbed through the pages I was immediately attracted to the engravings that depicted the landscape and landmarks of the Highlands of Scotland over a hundred years ago. Dusty, distant, dramatic in some cases, yet still familiar.' In the spirit of emulating her model, Mairi travelled, as he did, mostly on foot and even sold her house in Inverness and lodged in Edinburgh, Reid's starting place. She describes her work as 'the shadow of J T Reid that followed me as I followed him; sometimes faint, sometimes sharp, above all strongest in the wild places where not much has changed over the years'. Mairi's wry, pertinent comments bring a smile and flashes of recognition to every page.
