For many armchair travelers the Outer Hebrides of Scotland epitomize the beauty & remoteness of island life. & the most dramatic of all the Hebrides is Harris, where the legendary Harris Tweed is woven by local crofters, reflecting the strength, durability, & integrity of life on Harris. Harris has dramatic mountains & huge, pristine sandy beaches bordering the open Atlantic. Yeadon captures in words & through his evocative line drawings the life of the island people, their folkways & humour & the simple life of crofting & fishing which have hardly changed in hundreds of years. Although sometimes threatened by the inroads of commerce & tourism, Harris remains in many ways idyllic, the most resonant & romantic of all the Hebridean islands. Yeadon also makes side trips to Barra, the southernmost of the Hebrides, to the Shiant Islands with author Adam Nicolson & to the fabled St. Kilda, the most remote of all the Scottish islands, 50 miles out in the Atlantic, wreathed in legend & history. There are 35 line drawings by the author. ...
