An Eye to the Hills

by Cameron McNeish, Chris Townsend (Foreword)

For over four decades, Cameron McNeish has chronicled Scotland's majestic landscapes and the outdoor communities who inhabit them. While much has changed, especially in terms of conservation and access, the hills themselves remain little altered, as do the reasons people visit them. In revisiting this collection of essays and diary entries, Cameron shines the light of experience on memory, and renews his vision, keen to share his insights with the many people who love Scotland’s outdoors.

Reviews

[Cameron Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 - always interesting to read another persons experiences out exploring the countryside but nothing overtly inspiring. Quite enjoyed learning about, and reading his discussions surrounding access, conservation, and manipulation of the landscape.
