Mountain Stories

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. These stories are a reflection of the importance of wild places and the inspiration, art and culture associated with them.

Mountain Stories has a foreword written by Arran resident, Mountain Leader and President of Ramblers Scotland, Lucy Wallace.

'Love stories written to the places that made her, Heather writes without adornment. In doing so, she gets to the heart of the matter.'
