Scotland

An Idiosyncratic View - Second Edition

by Derek G Corner

About the Book
Rather than merely record the traditional 'chocolate box' type of images of Scotland; kilts; haggis; stags and heathery mountains; this is a personal wander round my homeland, Scotland, visting some out of the way places as well as those better known to visitors.



The extended revision of an earlier book covers; the Mountains, Lochs, and Glens of Scotland; the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow; the town of Hamilton; David Livingstone, including some recent and little known information about his early life; the Flora and Fauna of Scotland; Religion and Cultural heritage; and lists some useful Web Sites for further research.
