The Great Sea Cliffs of Scotland is an anthology of outrageous
climbing adventures from twenty-six of the most extraordinary sea
cliffs across Scotland. From the farthest flung sandstone sea
stacks of the northern isles, to the granite playground of the
Aberdeenshire coast, via the intricate archipelago of the Hebrides,
all the major sea cliffs on the Scottish mainland and surrounding
islands are covered in five distinct sections. Each area is
described in rich detail and accompanied by personal accounts that
offer an intimate perspective of the distinctive nature of this
unique environment, and the generous rewards for those willing to
accept the challenge of these seemingly improbable lines. With
contributions from some of the most renowned pioneers and activists
in the field of climbing, this compilation traces the remarkable
history of Scottish sea cliff climbing and offers a glimpse of its
future. Original poetry by Stuart Campbell complements each
introductory section, and exclusive images from some of the UK's
most distinguished photographers reveal the cliffs in high
resolution with unique clarity and vibrance, capturing the drama
and scale of these magnificent seascapes. Full list of
contributors: Ross Jones, Tim Rankin, Guy Robertson, Andy Inglis,
Lou Reynolds, Dave MacLeod, Wilson Moir, Grant Farquhar, Simon
Nadin, Murdoch Jamieson, Rob Christie, Blair Fyffe, Steve McClure,
Rick Campbell, Kevin Howett, Karin Magog, Alice Irmak Thompson,
Pete Herd, Ian Taylor, Tess Fryer, Mick Fowler, Simon Richardson
and Jason Currie. Original poetry by Stuart Campbell. Foreword by
Julian Lines, author of Boardman-Tasker winning Tears of the Dawn,
and the UK's most prolific deep-water solo climber.
