printrequest sample

Publisher: Luath Press Ltd

In the endless struggle between man and nature, Bridget and Don MacCaskill's Highland home has always been a haven for injured and orphaned wildlife, from red deer to wildcats. The story begins with the rescue of two near-starved fox cubs called Rufus and Rusty, victims of their species' vicious reputation, and charts their often amusing journey into adulthood under the watchful eye of their new human 'parents'. Along the way, they are regularly joined by other wild creatures in need of the MacCaskills' help - badgers, birds of prey and a majestic golden eagle a mong them. 'The Blood is Wild' is a touching account of the precarious existence of wildlife in the Highlands.

Which it is to be will depend upon which side of the spine of the country – the Watershed, or water divide – you have first landed...

Ribbon of Wildness

Ribbon of Wildness

by Wright, Peter

It's a line that meanders from Peel Fell on the English border all the way to the top at Duncansby Head, near John O'Groats - over 745 miles, through almost every kind of terrain...

by Wood, Emma

The environment is not a neutral background to human struggles for power and profit. Scotland's past is affected by these non-human factors as much as anything that man has done.
