Scotland
This is a comprehensive guide to travel in Scotland that includes historical information, places to visit, hotels, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment plus planning advice.
A Tale of the Unknown Unknowns
The site of Warren Field in Scotland revealed two unusual and enigmatic features; an alignment of pits and a large, rectangular feature interpreted as a timber building. Excavations confirmed that the timber structure was an early Neolithic building and that the pits had been in use from the Mesolithic. This report details the excavations and reveals that the hall was associated with the storage and or consumption of cereals, including bread wheat, and pollen evidence suggests that the hall may have been part of a larger area of activity involving cereal cultivation and processing. The pits are fully documented and environmental evidence sheds light on the surrounding landscape.
Scottish Canoe Classics
An illustrated guide to some of the finest tours of Scotland's waterways. Wild lochs, placid canals and broad rivers, as they can only be seen from a canoe or kayak. Eddie has chosen his favourite twenty-five inland touring routes and described them in great detail. The routes are beautifully illustrated with numerous colour photos and maps. The selected routes are suitable for open canoes, sit-on-tops and touring kayaks. Many of them can be tackled as a single voyage or a series of day trips, with campsites en route. The journeys are all accessible but highly varied, taking place on inland lochs, sheltered sea lochs and rivers (of an easy nature, up to grade two). A wonderful book for planning voyages and inspiring dreams, or sharing your experiences with others.
Aberdeenshire
Aberdeenshire by Alexander Mackie is a profound exploration of the complexities of identity, culture, and nature through the lens of Scotland's northern region. Mackie's narrative weaves together rich prose and evocative imagery, creating a vivid tapestry that captures the essence of Aberdeenshire's landscape and its people. The book is steeped in a literary tradition that intertwines personal narrative with historical context, reflecting on the socio-cultural dynamics of the area while also engaging with the broader themes of change and belonging. Alexander Mackie, a notable figure in Scottish literature, draws upon his own experiences and heritage to illuminate the rich history and diversi...
The Nature of the Cairngorms
The Cairngorms area is arguably the most significant for nature conservation in the British Isles and contains its largest National Park. In this book, 35 authors, drawing on published and unpublished sources, present an up-to-date review of the area's natural features, including plants, animals, habitats, geology and landforms. The review falls into three parts. The first and largest part describes the area's rich diversity of nature, with each chapter summarising recent research findings, trends and conservation issues for a different landform, habitat or species group. The second part considers deer management, recreation and projected climate change impacts. Part three focuses on rare and threatened species, and identifies areas and habitats rich in species for which the Cairngorms are nationally and internationally important.
