NEW BOOK: The Hebrides - A Geography of Time

ORDER NOW (PUBLISHED MAY 2009)

Be warned - this is not a particularly cheerful story. It is the 25th century - the Hebrides have been empty of people now for well over 200 years. What happened was desperate – the islanders were traumatised at the bleak turn of events – some others seemed strangely satisfied. The dust has now settled and a Government Ministry has sent an investigator to do what ministries do best - to write an official report – an inventory - a dossier - to determine a future for the empty islands.

But this is not that report - this instead is the investigator’s diary – his scrapbook of notes and photographs, poems and stories – old and new - portraits without people.
