Nature Writing 2020 'Remarkable, and so profoundly enjoyable to
read ... Its importance is huge, setting down a vital marker in the
21st century debate about how we use and abuse the land' - Joyce
McMillan, Scotsman Desperate to connect with his native Galloway,
Patrick Laurie plunges into work on his family farm in the hills of
southwest Scotland. Investing in the oldest and most traditional
breeds of Galloway cattle, the Riggit Galloway, he begins to
discover how cows once shaped people, places and nature in this
remote and half-hidden place. This traditional breed requires
different methods of care from modern farming on an industrial,
totally unnatural scale. As the cattle begin to dictate the pattern
of his life, Patrick stumbles upon the passing of an ancient rural
heritage. Always one of the most isolated and insular parts of the
country, as the twentieth century progressed, the people of
Galloway deserted the land and the moors have been transformed into
commercial forest in the last thirty years. The people and the
cattle have gone, and this withdrawal has shattered many centuries
of tradition and custom. Much has been lost, and the new forests
have driven the catastrophic decline of the much-loved curlew, a
bird which features strongly in Galloway's consciousness. The links
between people, cattle and wild birds become a central theme as
Patrick begins to face the reality of life in a vanishing
landscape.
