Review

"* 'I can imagine the book glowing in the dark. The Cuillin is far more than a collection of brilliant photos. It is a coherent whole, a homage in images, poems and prose to the best mountain ridge in Britain. Gordon Stainforth has had the last word on the subject' - Jim Curran, High Magazine * 'Gordon Stainforth's photographic tour de force... revealing him as something of a philosopher besides master landscape photographer' - Stephen Goodwin, Independent * 'A masterpiece' - Alpine Journal
