Press Reviews
'It's a lovely book, full of extraordinary maps and stories. Islands are not just geologic land forms. Thanks to this book they are living and breathing entities with long and layered histories'
'This is a delightful book, beautifully reproduced and to be savoured'
'this is a book to use, to study and enjoy while celebrating Scottish islands in all their lovely variations and locations'
'This is a triumph of a book, a beautifully illustrated account of how our Scottish islands have been understood by cartographers. It is a book that gives sheer, unadulterated pleasure to both eye and mind'
'the authors take us through a dazzling treasure trove of maps in a thematic way, rather than simply arranging them in chronological order ... this is a hugely impressive work of scholarship, not to mention a lifetime's supply of daydreaming material'
