“Yet often the mountain gives itself most completely when I have no destination, when I reach nowhere in particular, but have gone out merely to be with the mountain as one visits a friend with no intention but to be with him.”

Nan' Shepherd’s incredible ode to the Cairngorm mountain range is the perfect book to curl up with after a day spent out rambling, or on a slow Sunday morning with a mug of coffee. Shepherd writes in a poetically visual way that transports you directly to the Scottish mountains as though you can feel that biting wind on your face and hands. A true masterpiece that will linger in your mind for a long time after you turn the final page.
