Mountain Stories: Remembered journeys in the Scottish Highlands and Islands

Mountain Stories is an illustrated memoir of journeys through some of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes, including Skye’s Cuillin, Knoydart, Assynt and the Far North.

Writing during lockdown, author and artist Heather Dawe finds telling these stories a powerful means of reconnection with the mountains when they are physically inaccessible.

Dawe’s journeys are made by walking, running, cycling or sea-kayak. The stories are a reflection of the importance of wild places and the inspiration, art and culture associated with them.
