Synopsis

Classic Boat's Best Book of 2020. Countless well-researched histories of yachting have been published since Victorian times. But, unaccountably, not one has focussed on Scotland. While individual Scottish designers have been lauded, even lionised, in lush biographies, the wider story of sailing in Scotland has been marginalised. This rich and colourful vein of incident and anecdote is acknowledged only in passing. Highland Cowes attempts to redress the north-south balance and bring the wider story of Scottish yachting into the mainstream. The book employs a thematic approach with a range of topics presented in parallel as a diorama of events, viewed conceptually ‘through the lens’ of Hunter’s Quay – the village that lay at the heart of sailing in Scotland during the ‘golden age of yachting’.
