The only access to the outside world being a 5hr trip by boat and landrover. (This is very wild and remote by UK standards)

An enthralling account of Highland Wildlife in the 1980s, the Author actually living a solitary life amongst the deer, eagles etc etc and devoting his life to observing and caring for them.
Wonderfully evocative
Read this while on holiday in Scotland. Unbeknown to me I canoed past the cottage he lived in two weeks previously. I really enjoyed this getting back in touch with nature book. The realities of the living in remote Scotland and observing the wildlife around you in a way most people can not. It left me wanting to sample some of what Mike experienced. Thanks Mike I really enjoyed this and look forward to reading more of your work.
