Only recently out in paperback. Superbly written. Based mainly on walks undertaken involving ancient routes, but with many asides and interesting quirky links and associations. Extraordinarily well read and erudite author.For boaty interest, there are two chapters recounting trips made on the old sea lanes in the Outer Hebrides, North & South from Lewis, in old sailing vessels, supremely well and atmospherically told. Highly recommended read.
