Hidden Harbours of Southwest Scotland is a lively tour of small and
infrequently visited harbours on the stunning Scottish coast and
its nearby islands, starting from Port Logan in the south and
meandering northwards to Lerags on Loch Feochan in the Firth of
Lorn. The southwest coast of Scotland is one of the most beautiful
cruising areas in the world, combining dramatic scenery with
interesting history and landmarks. Many of its shores are lined
with old castles and the magnificent historical houses of rich
industrialists, reflecting its significance as an area of busy
trade. The more recent military developments, which include a
wartime torpedo base at Loch Long and the naval headquarters at
Faslane on Gare Loch, also have a significant presence. Small
harbours further south were shaped by the trade in natural
resources and the flow of passengers via Clyde Puffer boats to and
from nearby cities such as Glasgow and beyond. Each hidden harbour,
many of which are simple but attractive piers or shipways built to
support trade, has a story to tell. The book includes a historical
overview plus notes on what is to be found at each, alongside full
colour photographs and annotated aerial shots. This edition
complements the other Hidden Harbours titles in the series by Dag
Pike.
