People are drawn to the harbours and boats of Scotland whether they
have a seafaring background or not. Why do boats take on different
shapes as you follow the complex shorelines of islands and
mainland? And why do the sails they carry appear to be so many
shapes and sizes? Then there are rowing craft or power-driven
vessels which can also be considered 'classics', whether they were
built for work or leisure. As he traces the iconic forms of a
selection of the boats of Scotland, Ian Stephen outlines the
purposes of craft, past and present, to help gain a true
understanding of this vital part of our culture. Sea conditions
likely to be met and coastal geography are other factors behind the
designs of a wide variety of craft. Stories go with boats. The
vessels are not seen as bare artefacts without their own soul but
more like living things.
