This book began as the author's personal travelogue sharing a yachting trip taken with the famed Sir Donald Currie. The experience itself spanned several days and took in a remarkable breadth of sights, from the grand expanse of the Inner Sound to the looming presence of Cape Wrath. It is part travelogue, part historical exploration, part personal insights into the Scottish Highlands and Islands. As the trip's vessel wove around the coast, the author also weaves together historical insights and contemporary observations; ancient monuments and modern industries. From the ruins of Dunvegan and Duntulm to the newly built Balfour Castle, the author gracefully draws parallels between Scotland's Gaelic past and its Victorian present. The result is a rich narrative weaving together Scotland's past and present, its natural beauty and architectural treasures. Though over a century old, the book's charm remains fresh and lively, and is a perfect companion for anyone curious about the region, leading to a deeper appreciation of its timeless landscapes and historic tapestry.
