There are few landscapes in the western world more bewitching than
the mountain glens of the Scottish Highlands and the scattered
islands of the Hebrides. From its bleak mountains to its
flower-filled meadows, from savage sea-cliffs to pure white
beaches, it has inspired an equally varied oral heritage. There are
the works of gentle scholar saints, epic tales of murderous clan
rivalry, Norse legends of monsters and unsubdued spirits and the
romantic tale of how an exiled prince came back to rescue his land
and crown, though his defeat brought ruin to this ancient culture.
More recently, it is the landscape and its animal inhabitants that
have inspired some of the greatest of the poems captured here by
Mary Miers, whose feel for the spirit of the Highlands and islands
is unerring. She combines the sensibility of a native from the
island of South Uist with the eye of a travelling scholar of
architecture. Small books that open our vast landscapes of the
mind.
