The one & only guide to every col & pass in the British Isles, for cyclists, walkers & armchair travellers. A col is the lowest point on the saddle between two mountains. Graham Robb has spent years uncovering & cataloguing the 2, 002 cols & 105 passes scattered across the British Isles. Some of these obscure & magical sites are virgin cols that have never been crossed. Dozens were lost by the Ordnance Survey & are recorded only in ballads or monastic charters. The eleven cols of Hadrian`s Wall are practically unknown & have never been properly identified. These under-appreciated slices of natural beauty provide a new way of looking at British history, & a challenge for cyclists & walkers. ”A wonderful writer.. . No one else so relishes the odd corners of history”. (Sunday Times). ” He is such a warm, gentle & generous writer, with no faux scholarly tosh or solitary ecstasy riffs”. (Evening Standard) Graham Robb is an acclaimed historian & biographer, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature & a Chevalier dans l` Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He has won the Whitbread Biography Prize & the Heinemann Award for Victor Hugo, as well as the Ondaatje Prize & Duff Cooper Prize for The Discovery of France. He lives on the English-Scottish border (and within a day`s ride of one hundred & seventy cols). ...

In May 2013 it will be exactly 1450 years since the arrival on Iona of Columba, the imperious & energetic Irishman of royal descent who founded its famous monastery & became Scotland`s best known Celtic saint. To celebrate this important anniversary, Iona Cathedral Trust has commissioned a new book by the historian Rosalind K. Marshall. Using a wide variety of sources & taking into account the results of the most recent historical & archaeological research, she charts the many developments on Iona throughout the centuries, investigating why it has had such an enduring influence on Scottish life. In our own apparently secular age, thousands of people visit the tiny & remote Hebridean island each year to experience its unique atmosphere of tranquil spirituality. Columba`s wood & wattle buildings have long since vanished, replaced by a Benedictine abbey of stone, but after the Reformation it fell into neglect, languishing for two hundred years as no more than a romantic ruin. In the early twentieth century, however, it was restored by the Church of Scotland`s Iona Cathedral Trust & by the charismatic, controversial George Mac Leod, founder of the Iona Community, an experiment in Christian living which flourishes to this day. ...
