Nigel Tranter's Scotland

Celebrating Scotland past and present. Moving from the Forth Road Bridge to Cawdor Castle, Glencoe and Balmoral, Nigel Tranter blends history, autobiography and anecdotes in this rich, beautifully illustrated foray into the heart of Scotland. "I have never wanted to live anywhere else than in Scotland," he begins, "it is Scotland for me, where I was born, brought up, lived my life, met my challenges and joys, failures and pains, delights and disappointments." And whether he's talking about the salmon-netting laws or the S.N.P., Pictish stone circles or one of his numerous conservation schemes, Nigel Tranter writes with all the humour, insight and affection we have come to expect from one of Scotland's best-loved novelists and publicists.
