With nearly 800 islands and several thousand miles of coastline, Scotland has one of the most diverse coasts in all of Europe. From the wild waters around Cape Wrath to the serene beaches of the Silver Sands of Morar, via one of the world's largest whirlpools at Corryvreckan, Coastal Scotland journeys around the varied shorelines of Scotland to complete the most comprehensive survey ever taken. From rugged countryside edging the Highlands to modern cities, via firths and sea lochs, Coastal Scotland visits all the places of interest along the entire coastline, exploring history and heritage, striking architecture, wonderful flora and fauna, and on the way delves into art, literature and culture. With detailed maps and evocative photography, as well as of book covers, stamps and local artefacts that help convey the character of each area, Coastal Scotland presents the array of that make each stretch of coastline so special.
