Book excerpt: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Memoir of the year' - Vogue 'A wondrous, sensuous memoir of salt-stung survival . . . clear-eyed and poetic prose' Sunday Times 'A fascinating memoir' - Daily Mail When Tamsin Calidas first arrives on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides, it feels like coming home. Disenchanted by London, she and her husband left the city and high-flying careers to move the 500 miles north, despite having absolutely no experience of crofting, or of island life. It was idyllic, for a while. But as the months wear on, the children she'd longed for fail to materialise, and her marriage breaks down, Tamsin finds herself in ever-increasing isolation. Injured, ill, without money or friend she is pared right back, stripped to becoming simply a raw element of the often harsh landscape. But with that immersion in her surroundings comes the possibility of rebirth and renewal. Tamsin begins the slow journey back from the brink. Startling, raw and extremely moving, I Am An Island is a story about the incredible ability of the natural world to provide when everything else has fallen away - a stunning book about solitude, friendship, resilience and self-discovery.

Download or read book Caithness to Patagonia written by Ian Leith and published by Whittles. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extraordinary and little-known story of emigration from Scotland. Caithness and Patagonia are literally a world apart, yet in the late 19th and early 20th centuries a number of Caithness men and women took on the challenge of this wild, open and windswept land. The book provides the origins and backgrounds of these Caithness Patagonian pioneers and sets their experiences alongside the growth and development of Patagonia as one of the world's great sheep farming areas. The story begins with John Hamilton, the son of a tailor from Wick, who arrived in the Falkland Islands in 1880. Over the following 60 years he and other Caithness men and women became a significant force in the development of sheep farming in Patagonia. As one of Patagonia's most enterprising sheep farmers, he was the catalyst for a number of other Caithness men making what must have been a huge decision to uproot from their native home. It was not just Caithness men who embarked on the journey - sisters and wives followed as new lives were ground out of the unforgiving landscape. There are stories of endurance and determination against the odds; accounts of death and disaster, but most of all there are tales of how these Caithnessians conquered Patagonia and built successful businesses to the extent that today their descendants are integral to many aspects of Patagonian and Argentine society. The roll call of names - Bain, Barnetson, Begg, Bremner, Budge, Cormack, Harper, Mowat, Nicolson, Plowman, etc. - is like a Caithness directory. Their stories and legacies continue to be proudly held dear by descendants and relatives both in Caithness, the UK and in Argentina. The Caithness Patagonian story was originally brought to light by Margie Sinclair for the BBC Odyssey series. Caithness to Patagonia charts the backgrounds, the successes and failures of these intrepid pioneers who created a new life, far away from their homes and families.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays, written by experts, provides the definitive story of Perthshire, that beloved region in the heart of Scotland where a great wealth of the nation's natural, historical and cultural treasures are to be found. The first section of the book details the area's varied and colorful history, from its geological and prehistoric foundations and its strategic importance to the first settlers, through the impact of the Roman invasion, the Dark Ages and the medieval period and the "Little Ice Age" of early modern times leading to the commercial prosperity of Perthshire today, with its succesful activities in textiles, tourism, whisky and insurance. Later chapters of the book uncover the many different facets of Perthshire life, past and present. Scenic descriptions and contemporary anecdotes from throughout the centuries convey the distinctive qualities of the River Tay, Strathearn, the Trossachs and the city of Perth itself. The district is one rich in folklore and the scene of much historic incident; it is the birthplace of Rob Roy and the inspiration for several of Sir Walter Scott's novels. Studies of the architecture, language, the traveling people and the marvelous tales and legends of Perthshire complete this excellent anthology. Full of fascinating facts and intriguing details, The Perthshire Book is essential reading for all who love Perthshire, locals and visitors alike. It is also an excellent introduction for those who have yet to discover the delights of the region.
