Walking with Murder
'Your life shall be like the hunted deer's, and ye'll sleep with your hands on your weapons. Either take to the heather with me. Or else hang', Alan told David after the shooting of the Red Fox. Ian Nimmo also took to the heather, clamped down in it as darkness fell, supped dramach, guddled for trout and shared their fugitive lives over some of Scotland's wildest and most spectacular country. Now not only is he regarded as an authority on the Appin Murder, but also on the life of Robert Louis Stevenson. What makes Ian Nimmo's account so interesting is that he explores the kidnapped route across Scotland through three eras—as it was after the 'Forty Five, the setting of Kidnapped, as he found it forty years ago when he first tramped the Kidnapped trail, and noticing the dramatic changes on the route today, which are altering the very nature and character of Scotland.
The Shell of Stone
The Shell of Stone is Ian Nimmo White's third book-length collection of poetry. The author being a keen genealogist, many of these poems resonate with his passion for heritage, some marking major events of the twentieth century, with other poems travelling even further back to previous centuries. The author also touches on the inevitable passing of time and his own ageing, which he addresses with some mischief and fun. While there is always a presence of nostalgia, sometimes sadness, White balances this with poems about the joy of having grandchildren, observations of wildlife and the ever-increasing amount of time he is spending in his garden. The reader is left with feelings of respect for the past together with hope for the future. White's poetry is laced with warmth and humanity, not to mention a good helping of his native Scottish humour. The experience gained in a four-decade-long career in community service has given the poet a priceless knowledge and understanding of the lives of ordinary men and women, who will be able to relate to these poems and enjoy them.

Mountains Figured and Disfigured in the English-Speaking World
The essays in this book, written by poets, novelists, mountain-climbers and academics from all over the world, evoke the representation of mountains in the English-speaking world as artists, writers, philosophers or mountain-climbers have represented them from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. From the Alps to the Pyrenees, from Mount Fuji to Mount Shasta, from the Himalayas to the Scottish Highlands, from Ikere in Nigeria to Devil's Tower in the United States, from Uluru in Australia to the most northern mountain of the Arctic, the shapes of the world speak the same language and tell the world its own story. This interdisciplinary book, weaving together mountaineering, literature...
Of Love and Sanity
In 1943, Bernard Markham, a young soldier and really only a boy, volunteers to fight with the Chindits, a special allied force flown into Burma to disrupt the seemingly unstoppable advance of the Imperial Japanese Army. He doesn't fully realise the enormity of what he has let himself in for, and although taking part in initial successes, within only a few weeks is captured by the enemy, interrogated and tortured. He manages to escape and make a perilous journey back to safety in British held India, but he is badly damaged, not only physically but emotionally, and in England after the conclusion of World War Two, he suffers a total breakdown. Despite all the ordeals he has gone through, he recuperates and turns it all around by dedicating the rest of his life to disadvantaged young people. In a sense, having lost his own youth to horrific conflict, he is determined to champion future youth. Of Love and Sanity is the story of a triumph of the human spirit, accomplished on the back of unimaginable suffering.
