This book is a record of three of Roger's long-distance walks in Scotland. The first of these was from Cape Wrath to Knoydart, a route said by many to have the finest coastline in Britain. The second was in South West Scotland, from the Rhinns of Galloway to Iona, a place of pilgrimage for centuries. The third expedition was through the Outer Hebrides--anyone who has studied the map of Britain cannot have failed to have been attracted to the string of islands that constitute the Western Isles. They lie like a defensive barrier for the north Scottish mainland, against the mighty waves of the Atlantic Ocean. From the lone shieling of the island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas - Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides. Canadian Boat Song
