The majestic towns of Perth and Inverness rub shoulders with unspoilt fishing villages, grand country lodges and croft communities, and single-track roads and footpaths wind their way towards trout- and salmon-filled lochs, bogs and nature preserves, sandy beaches, and challenging mountain climbs. The author, a long-time explorer of the Highlands, regales you on your travels with tales of the Scottish clans and the Clearances, taking you to visit medieval castle ruins, Viking graves and Celtic standing stones.
