Présentation de l'éditeur

The Highland Fault splits Deeside and the Mearns into distinct areas. The mellow sandstone of the Mearns creates lush plough land and small clusters of old farming villages, with snug fishing hamlets squeezed between unforgiving cliffs. Stonehaven, with its ancient and accessible harbour, is the key town in the area. The stubborn granite of Deeside provides a dramatic landscape from the heights of the Cairngorms to the awesome rocky reaches of the river. Abundantly illustrated with over 600 images, this book provides a concise and vivid guide to an area of outstanding visual beauty.
