When Mike Tomkies moved to a remote cottage on the shores of Loch
Shiel in the West Highlands of Scotland, he found a place which was
to provide him with the most profound wilderness experience of his
life. Accessible only by boat, the cottage he renamed 'Wildernesse'
was to be his home for many years, which he shared with his beloved
German Shepherd, Moobli. Centred on different landscape elements -
loch, woodlands and mountains -Tomkies describes the whole cycle of
nature through the seasons in a harsh and testing environment of
unrivalled beauty. Vivid colours and sounds fill the pages - exotic
wild orchids, the roar of rutting stags, the territorial movements
of foxes, otters and badgers, an oak tree being torn apart by
hurricane-force gales. Nothing escapes his penetrating eye. His
extraordinary insights into the wildlife that shared his otherwise
empty territory were not gained without perseverance in the face of
perilous hazards, and the difficulties and challenges of life in
the wilderness are a key part of this remarkable book.
