Summary: From its far flung islands and isolated highlands to its lowlands and stretching coastlines, Scotland is truly a land of unbeatable scenery and incredible contrasts. The striking Scottish landscape is testimony to the power and strength of nature. Its hundreds of islands are the result of volcanic activity, and its towering mountain ranges and glassy lochs were created during the ice ages. Countless millennia of wave-action continues to pound its white sand beaches, whilst rushing rivers have carved themselves a passage to the oceans. Human history too is etched on the Scottish landscape. 
 
The country is adorned with castles and cairns, fishing villages and mighty bridges, evidence of the kings, queens and hard-working people who have shaped this great land. The Secrets of Scotland takes a look at this remarkable place through Dennis Hardley’s magnificent photos. The journey begins in the Western Isles, their 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. 
 
From the Grampians to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the Borders, explore Scotland’s landscapes and culture in this concise, insightful book.
