Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive guide to walking on Scotland's Isle of Mull and the neighbouring islands of Ulva, Gometra, Iona and Erraid, providing 47 routes ranging between 3 and 14 miles. Offering routes for walkers of all abilities, the guide features a mix of long and short circuits alongside more demanding mountain traverses. Although challenging, these traverses involve few technical difficulties and are hugely rewarding for properly equipped and experienced walkers. Suitable for year-round walking, most visitors will stay in the main settlement of Tobermory, but Dervaig, Salen, Craignure and Bunessan also offer services and accommodation options. For each of the 47 routes, the guide includes OS mapping, detailed route description and insights into local points of interest. The introduction and appendices offer information about accommodation and services available across the island, as well as ferry routes. Easily accessible from Oban on the west coast of Scotland, the Isle of Mull will appeal to walkers seeking secluded routes with inspiring views around every corner. Boasting wild, rugged scenery and a spectacular coastline, Mull offers outstanding opportunities to observe wildlife including golden and sea eagles, otters, deer, dolphins and harbour porpoise. The islands are endlessly fascinating for geologists due to their volcanic and glaciated past, resulting in rock formations found nowhere else in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denise Crawn's eye opens up profound connections with the natural world around us. As W.H. Auden once said of E. M. Forster, she "trips us up like an unnoticed stone" as we stumble through the unaware routines of our lives. "Look " she says, coaxing us to see more deeply and rewardingly into the comradeship of the woods-and she does so in a manner more than merely visual: Her insight operates on a spiritual plane, hinting at richer meanings in these connections. And she offers compelling remarks from other men and women, as diverse as Vincent van Gogh and Albert Einstein, who have understood the wisdom of nature to further deepen the emotional impact of her compelling photographs-now yours to enjoy.

Download or read book Mull Iona and Staffa written by Malcolm MacGregor and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mull, Iona and Staffa is Malcolm MacGregor's second book of landscape photography in Scotland. Here he has travelled throughout these three islands in pursuit of Hebridean light. Conscious that these islands are not an appendage to the western highlands of Scotland, but rather command their seaborne approaches, he has sought through a photographic journey to reveal their uniqueness and special qualities. His excursions have taken him from Fingal's Cave on Staffa to St. Columba's landing place on Iona. On Mull he has ventured from the high tops around Ben More to the desolate Ardmeanach peninsula. The photographs in this book cover mountains, hills, coastline, rivers and isolated gems such as waterfalls and frozen hill lochs. Additionally he has photographed churches, castles, ancient graveyards, fishing vessels, celtic crosses, standing stones and remnants of a bygone age bringing a fresh perspective to these renowned islands. The accompanying text weaves the landscape into the life, history and some of the legends that continue today. It also covers some of the lesser known aspects and viewpoints of the islands revealing why visitors and pilgrims return here to encounter unique experiences both visually and of a spiritual nature.

Download or read book My Life as a Replica written by Sally Foster and published by Windgather Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970 a concrete replica of the St John’s Cross arrived in Iona sitting incongruously on the deck of a puffer delivering the island’s annual supply of coal. What is the story behind this intriguing replica? How does it relate to the world’s first ringed ‘Celtic cross’, an artistic and technical masterpiece, which has been at the heart of the Iona experience since the eighth century? What does it tell us about the authenticity and value of replicas? In this fascinating book, Foster and Jones draw on extensive interdisciplinary research to reveal the composite biography of the St John’s Cross, its concrete replica, and its many other scale copies. They show that replicas can acquire rich forms of authenticity and value, informed by social relations, craft practices, creativity, place and materiality. Thus, the book challenges traditional precepts that seek authenticity in qualities intrinsic to original historic objects. Replicas are shown to be important objects in their own right, with their own creative, human histories — biographies that people can connect with. The story of the St John’s Cross celebrates how replicas can ‘work’ for us if we let them, particularly if clues are available about their makers’ passion, creativity and craft.
