The Unknown Hebrides

by John Macpherson (Photographer), Hamish Haswell-Smith (Introduction)

Although beautiful in themselves, these islands serve as spectacular vantage points for the magnificent scenery in the area. From the great amphitheatre of the Firth of Lorne to the grandeur of the Cuillins from Soay, this book is a unique portrait of Scotland's forgotten islands. It is also a poignant reminder of islands long abandoned by man and industry now long forgotten. This book forms part of a new and exciting series of images of Scotland's most beautiful scenery taken by some of its finest photographers. These books are not simply pictures of what we can see from our car window, nor simply misty landscapes but photography which gets to the heart of both the landscape and its human component. While covering all the main attractions in an area the photographers have sought out the quirky, the curious and the unknown to give a new dimension to a land we all thought we knew.
