Isobel Wylie Hutchison was many things: a botanist, traveller, poet
and artist. She travelled solo throughout the arctic collecting
plant samples, wrote and published extensive volumes of essays and
poetry, and was - in short - one of the most remarkable Scottish
figures of her time. However, since her death in 1982 her legacy
has been forgotten compared with her male counterparts. Now Isobel
can speak for herself again. While better known for her solo
journeys across the Arctic, these essays detail Isobel's journeys
across Scotland, including visits to Skye, John O' Groats and the
various literary shrines across the country. Written with
characteristic wit and a keen interest in both science and myth and
folklore, the essays serve as important cultural markers not just
of Scotland as it was and has developed, but of a woman's
experience of travelling alone and a testament to the importance of
cultural connection, exploration and communication.
