Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the north west coast of Scotland and around Skye there are islands galore, hidden beaches, tide races, great places to enjoy the local seafood and amazing people to meet. All of this set within a fantastic, variable culture of Norse and Gaelic influence that go to make this an area you will return to time and again. Ardnamurchan Point to Cape Wrath, the names of the headlands at either end of the area contained within these pages, even have their own section in the weather forecast. Fifty great voyages are described in a way that is both inspirational and informative. Details of launching and landing sites, tides and potential hazards are provided and the coast is described in exquisite detail. This means that it can also be used as a kayaker's 'pilot' for any journey they might wish to undertake in this area. It follows the successful format of other Pesda Press sea kayaking guides, presenting the information in a user-friendly fashion and making good use of maps and colour photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... This was the only notice of the Smew I had within the area, until in some scrap-notes amongst Buckley's West Ross files I find the entry: "Smew: Braemore, January 1887." But I have, so far, failed to trace the specimen. Order COLUMBE. Family COLUMBID.E. Columba palumbus, L. Ring Dove. Resident, but not numerous. I saw a pair at Uiginish last April, and five at Dunvegan last December. Captain Macleod and Captain Macdonald consider it rather scarce. Mr. Dumville Lees has met with it.--H. A. Macp. Dixon records that Ring Doves are "few but resident, and breed in the parish of Gairloch, and he has seen their nests in high trees." This was in 1888. Hinxman and Eagle-Clarke found it "fairly abundant, and, as elsewhere in the Highlands, decidedly on the increase." This was in 1893. By 1896, Mr. A. H. Evans says: "The nest may be found occasionally on the ledge of a rock." (I have myself seen the nest of this bird in a niche of old masonry of the old castle on the island of Loch an Dorbh, in Moray.) Fairly numerous, and breeds along Loch Carron in numbers varying according to the character of the season. I have not found it spreading at all rapidly, however, further to the north, viz. in Assynt or Edderachyllis, though in 1901 and 1902 there were more there than formerly. One seen at Glam on the island of Raasay by Hinxman in June 1896. Columba cenas, L. Stock Dove. Messrs. Hinxman and Eagle-Clarke appear to accept the following record: "We also have the record by the Rev. Edward S. Marshall that he shot a Stock Dove, in late August or early September 1877, close to the shooting lodge of Dorusduain, Kintail, West Ross, and frequently saw birds of this species when fishing the River Croe "--a set of occurrences somewhat extraordinary, judging...
Download or read book Overtourism written by Rachel Dodds and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overtourism has become a major concern for an increasing number of destinations as tourism numbers continue to grow, stimulated by general economic and technological growth and the expansion of the global middle class. This, coupled with relentless promotion of tourism by many organisations and destinations, has increased tourism, despite growing opposition to excessive development. This book is the first academic volume to deal with this topic and contains chapters by experienced researchers in the tourism field, taking a multidisciplinary approach to review and explain the subject. The introductory section begins with an overview of the current situation and the forces enabling the appearance of overtourism. This is followed by a number of case studies from a range of destinations around the world, both urban and rural, which share the same problems. The concluding section includes a discussion of potential mitigation methods and approaches and a final assessment of future developments. The focus and relevance of this book are not just for academics, as it offers insights into destinations, enablers and solutions for how to address the issue of overtourism on a wide variety of scales. This book offers globally relevant perspectives on destinations as varied as Venice and Barcelona, that have gained global media attention, as well as less publicised rural areas and developing destinations.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive book is an excellent planning resource for those who wish to venture into the Scottish mountains. Whether you are planning a walk, scramble, climb or ski tour this larger format guide has all the information the independent mountain lover needs.

The aim of the book is to inspire and entertain as well as inform; to show first-time visitors just what the Scottish mountains have to offer and provide a new perspective for those who have been before. In the descriptions author Chris Townsend has given his opinions as to the relative qualities of the walks, glens, lochs, mountains and the landscape in general and highlighted those he thinks are the best the area has to offer. Includes: Descriptions of all the Scottish mountains, area-by-area from south to north, to help you identify the best locations for hill walking, mountaineering, climbing and ski touring Classic ascents and walks described, from scrambles up Ben Nevis to ski tours in the Cairngorms A planning tool for long-distance treks

Download or read book The West Highland Railway written by John A. McGregor and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2005-08-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Highland Railway, which opened to Fort William in 1894 and to Mallaig in 1901, follows a scenic route by Loch Lomond, Breadalbane and Lochaber to the west coast of Scotland and is one of the most famous railway lines in the world. This book describes the late-nineteenth-century 'railway mania' in the Highlands, addressing the politics of promotion and the disputes over state assistance for the Fort William–Mallaig line, rather than the heroics and the romance of construction and operation. It discusses the uneasy alliances and battles between the railway companies of Scotland, as well as those between Scottish lines and their English counterparts. It also reviews other schemes, more or less successful, and examines the expectations bound up with railway development, asking how far these had been achieved, or remained relevant, by 1914. 'This is a meticulously researched book . . . a unique and comprehensive history of the origins of the West Highland Railway . . . an essential addition to the library of anyone with an interest in Scottish railway history' - Ewan Crawford, University of Glasgow 'a fascinating and revealing study of rail development issues in the western Highlands between the 1840s and 1914' - Tom Hart, University of Glasgow

Download or read book Skye written by James Hunter and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skye, with its soaring peaks, sea-battered coastline and sometimes savage storms, is one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. To the people who live there, it is simply an t-eilean, the island, and it occupies an almost mythical place in the minds of many Scots. Written by a man who lives and works there, Skye: The Island marks a departure in books about the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Without sentimentalising or romanticising, it portrays Skye as it really is; evocative, moving, committed, passionate and hopeful, it is the best book you will read about the island.
