A Scottish Graveyard Miscellany explores in words and extraordinary pictures the folk art of Scottish graveyards from the eighteenth century, when gravestones began to be widely used, to the present day. Each old kirkyard is a riotous celebration of folk art: there are skulls and skeletons, ships and lighthouses, angels galore, carved portraits of our forebears and even a gravestone decorated with a picture of Bart Simpson and his skateboard! More than mere memorials, the graves are a collection of pages in stone taken from the history of Scottish everyday life. Scotland's kirkyards are not gloomy places to be shunned, but places to find vivid stories from the lives of people, without distinction of class or creed. There is much humour in this book, and the photographs throughout taken by the author illustrate better than words why we should look after the unique treasuries in our midst.

Tour Scotland Photograph Beinn Challuim
Tour Scotland photograph of a cairn on Beinn Challuim, a Scottish mountain located in the very northern part of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, 4 miles west north west of the village of Tyndrum. The word cairn derives from Scottish Gaelic cà rn, which is essentially the same as the corresponding words in other native Celtic languages of Britain, Ireland and Brittany, including Welsh carn, and carnedd, Breton karn, Irish carn, and Cornish karn or carn. Cornwall, Kernow, itself may actually be named after the cairns that dot its landscape, such as Cornwall's highest point, Brown Willy Summit Cairn. Burial cairns and other megaliths are the subject of a variety of legends and folklore throughout Britain and Ireland. In Scotland, it is traditional to carry a stone up from the bottom of a hill to place on a cairn at its top. In such a fashion, cairns would grow ever larger. An old Scottish Gaelic blessing is Cuiridh mi clach air do chà rn, " I'll put a stone on your stone ". In Highland folklore it is believed that the Highland Clans, before they fought in a battle, each man would place a stone in a pile. Those who survived the battle returned and removed a stone from the pile. The stones that remained were built into a cairn to honour the dead.

Walking on Harris and Lewis. With high hills that sweep down to white sandy beaches caressed and, at times, buffeted by the Atlantic, Harris and Lewis offer one of the last remaining refuges for walkers looking for spectacular scenery, ancient monuments - and a break from the madding crowd. Maps of the area show few footpaths, but this new guide describes 30 memorable walks ranging from all-day routes in the high hills to shorter, lower-level walks that visit the world-famous heritage sites and antiquities including a high-level horseshoe around An Cliseam and its neighbours, half-day circular walks around the famous stone circles of Calanais and the Butt of Lewis lighthouse and detailed routes into areas of wilderness visited only by the Golden Eagle and the mountain hare. With dramatic photographs, detailed OS mapping and frequent notes on places and points of interest, this is a book to inspire you and to take with you when you go.

Tour Scotland Photograph Loch Morar
Tour Scotland photograph of Loch Morar, Lochaber, Scotland. It is the deepest freshwater body in the United Kingdom. In common with Loch Ness there are occasional reports of large unidentified creatures seen in Loch Morar. The monster has been dubbed Morag by locals. After Nessie, it is among the best known of Scotland's legendary monsters. The name Morag is a pun on the name of the Loch, and of the Scottish female name, Morag. Sightings date back to 1887, and include some 34 incidents as of 1981. Sixteen of these involved multiple witnesses. In 1948 " a peculiar serpent like creature about 20 ft long " was reported by nine people in a boat, in the same place as the 1887 sighting. The appearance of the monster traditionally heralds the death of a Clanranald MacDonald. Clan Macdonald of Clanranald is a Scottish clan and a branch of Clan Donald one of the largest Scottish clans. The founder of the Macdonalds of Clanranald is Reginald, 4th great grandson of Somerled. The Macdonalds of Clanranald descend from Reginald's elder son Allan and the MacDonells of Glengarry descend from his younger son Donald.

Tour Scotland Photograph House Pittenweem East Neuk of Fife
Tour Scotland photograph of houses in Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The white houses with red roofs illustrate the classic East Neuk building style, influenced by trade with the Low Countries, Belgium and the Netherlands. The East Neuk offered natural trading ports for Dutch and Belgian captains as they sailed up past the east coast of England. These ships brought red pantiles as ballast, and the locals soon found them to be excellent roofing material. One can just make out the " crow step " gables the gable ends rise in steps rather than the more normal smooth angled line, an architectural feature imported from the Low Countries. These and other vernacular features are common throughout the town, which has one of Scotland's best preserved and most attractive town scapes, with many historic buildings.
