Foreword by Mairi Hedderwick
Richard Clubley shares the sense of freedom he finds in the Scottish islands as he discovers their individual character. He meets locals and learns a few realities of island life. He almost perished on Ailsa Craig, beofre finding fresh water dripping from the roof of a cave, but spends two idyllic nights alone on Mingulay, with a fabulous coal fire in a bothy. His passion for Scottish islands shines through every chapter.
