When the rain stops falling and the mist clears there is no more beautiful place on earth than Scotland’s Highlands and Islands, Europe’s last great wilderness. Hailed as the best guidebook to the region, Footprint’s `Scotland Highlands and Islands’ gives you everything you need to get the most out of your trip; the loveliest glens and lochs, the spookiest places, the most evocative castles and most glorious beaches are all here along with the best places to stay and eat and where to enjoy a wee dram of your favourite malt whiskey. You can get off the beaten track and discover the jaw-dropping scenery including national parks, mountains, castles, glens and lochs. There are accommodation listings aplenty, B&Bs, bothies and baronial castles. It includes fantastic mapping to help you navigate your way around the vibrant cities, stunning highlands and literally hundreds of islands this beautiful country has to offer.
When Alan Murphy upped sticks and left the fleshpots of Dundee to start his own seaweed-collecting business on a remote island croft, many saw it as a cry for kelp. But Alan not only survived several bleak Hebridean winters, he went on to found a sanctuary for wayward seal pups and devoted the next 10 years of his life to working with young stray marine mammals. Later, following a chance encounter with the editor of Footprint’s South American Handbook in a sleazy salsa bar in Soho, London, Alan turned his hand to travel writing, trading the rain swept peat moors of northern Scotland for the steamy jungles of South America to research and write Footprint guides to Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela. But the pull of his homeland was too strong and Alan eventually returned to Scotland to write new Footprint guides to Scotland, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Scotland Highlands & Islands. Alan now resides in the bohemian Somerset market town of Frome with his wife and three children.
