Book description
Cameron McNeish is one of Scotland's best-known hillwalkers and
broadcasts regularly on national radio and television. He considers
himself an "evangelist" for the wild places of the world -
mountains, deserts, remote coastlines and forests - anywhere that lies
beyond the black stump. Having walked, climbed, ski'd and backpacked
throughout the world, he now takes the reader on a journey through the
its wild places, from the Cairngorms to Yosemite. The book includes a
series of essays on McNeish's native Scotland which define those
elements that make wilderness so special and worth protecting.
Cameron McNeish is one of Scotland's best known hillwalkers and is
the former editor of TGO magazine. He broadcasts regularly on national
radio and television and is a former president of the Ramblers'
Association (Scotland). He lives near Inverness in the shadow of the
Cairngorms.
