PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Nicolson explores the nature, history and magic of three remote islands, a few miles east of the Isle of Lewis, deeded to him by his father on his 21st birthday. Tiny islands surrounded by serious tides, the Shiants nonetheless make their mark with 500-foot basalt cliffs, seabird and seal colonies, and a long history. Nicolson, who is a wonderful writer, is head-over-heels in love with the place. He combines interviews, diligent research, anecdote, history and observation in this lyrical portrait and celebration.
