Synopsis
The Isle of Skye is a world of contrasts -- of mountains, of desolate brown moor, sparkling lochs, roaring waterfalls, sea cliffs and white coral beaches encircled by myriad islands floating in clear blue seas. Rich in history, as the backdrop to Bonnie Prince Charlie's flight from the English, it is the wild province of eagle, deer, salmon, seal and killer whale. Bill Birkett portrays the Isle throughout the seasons, from its awakening in spring to the icy grip of winter. In particular he focuses on the three key areas: the Red Cuillin, the Black Cuillin and the northerly and spectacular region of Trotternish.

Review
Makes me smile for the thousandth time at the undiluted wonder of the Isle of Skye. West Highland Press This latest in a prize-winning series of 'year in the life' travel books, takes as a backdrop Bonnie Prince Charlie's flight and follows its spectacular landscapes through the seasons. The lavish pictures by photographer and mountain writer Bill Birkett are enough to make anyone want to follow Charlie... Independent on Sunday He captures the splendour of storm-welled waterfalls cascading off the hillsides as black clouds cast dramatic shadows across those famous jagged peaks. Aberdeen Press & Journal Predominantly stunning photos but with interesting accompanying text and extensive illustrative captions, this book makes use of the fact Birkett is an established mountain writer, as well as a celebrated photographer.
