Description

For centuries people have been beguiled and inspired by the imposing cloud-scattered mountains and tranquil lochs of Scotland's landscape. Aside from its breath-taking beauty, this country is steeped in a rich and violent history, alongside tales of fearless giants and mischievous fairies.

In Unseen Scotland, photographer and travel guide Bryan Millar Walker takes us on an adventure through the

rugged landscapes, hidden castle ruins and captivating folklore of his home country. Filled with atmospheric photography of Scotland's most beautiful places, the book is divided into 4 sections including:

- West Coast: walk among giants, drive winding roads and reflect by the remote cottages of Glencoe and beyond

- Hebrides: witness the otherworldly beauty of Skye, walking through the unsettling landscapes of the ancient Quiraing

- Highlands: explore its famous craggy mountains, rugged terrain and world-class beaches

- East Coast: adventure off the beaten track to the Eastern flats of Scotland and discover the hidden gems of Scottish history

This book isn't only about places you may never have seen, but the light in which we see them. It is a journey through time, unearthing the stories behind ancient ruins and iconic places which have witnessed centuries of triumphs, tragedies, and intriguing tales.
