THE SECRETS OF
SCOTLAND
North, south, east and west, Scotland is a land of contrasts, with towering mountain ranges, rolling hills, white sand beaches, rushing rivers, wild moorland and glassy lochs. From its islands and highlands to its lowlands and coastline, the country contains some of Britain's most breathtaking scenery.
Nature has left its indelible mark on Scotland's landscape. Its hundreds of islands were the result of volcanic activity, and the mountains and lochs were gouged out during the ice ages. Countless millennia of wave-action has pounded its coastline, and rivers have carved themselves a passage to the oceans. Man, too, has played his part. The country is littered with castles and cairns, crofts and kirks, evidence of the people who helped shape this great land. Splendid cities stand as testament to the kings, queens, industrialists and hard-working citizens who helped build them. Charming fishing villages are tucked snugly round the coast, and mighty bridges span many of Scotland's rivers and firths.
The Secrets of Scotland takes a look at this most remarkable of places through Dennis Hardley's magnificent photos. The journey begins in the Western Isles, their austere, remote beauty brilliantly captured. Next are the Highlands, with soaring crags and wooded glens. The Inner Islands follow with their safe harbours and sandy beaches. Take a fleeting glimpse of Royal Deeside and the Grampians before arriving at Glasgow and Edinburgh, and experiencing the rich diversity of their cultural heritage and architectural splendours. Savour the undulating prettiness of southwest Scotland and the Borders, the historical meeting place of the Scots and the English.
