A Third Summer in Kintyre completes Angus Martin's trilogy of books
about consecutive summers spent walking and cycling in Kintyre,
exploring the history and natural history of the places he visits
and documenting his own past. In this book, which covers the year
2015, he also looks back on his literary beginnings and mentors, in
particular the poets Iain Crichton Smith, Edwin Morgan and Robin
Fulton Macpherson. Largiebaan, an area of cliffs and Atlantic
seascapes, features prominently in his accounts of searches for
botanical rarities. But his journeys also take him into North
Kintyre, where he visits ruined settlements in Carradale Glen, the
deserted shepherd's cottage of Lagloskin, and a laird's grave in a
remote glen near Killean. As readers have come to expect, the reach
of Martin's curiosity is broad, encompassing place-names,
languages, literature, genealogy, social history, folklore, flora
and fauna, all interspersed with human presences, people met and
people remembered. For all who love Kintyre and its little-visited
scenic corners, this book will evoke the pleasures of times past
and perhaps also inspire personal journeys in the author's
footsteps.
