In the very north of Britain; far from the bustling cities and picturesque countryside to the south; lies Western Europes greatest wilderness: the Scottish Highlands. This is a land shaped by the flow of ancient ice; where snow-capped mountains tower over ink-black lochs; Golden Eagles soar over heather-clad moors; and Red Deer stags engage in mortal combat for the right to win a mate. Along the coast; sea cliffs and offshore islands teem with millions of seabirds; while the seas themselves are home to Basking Sharks; Orcas and Bottlenose Dolphins. The Highlands may at first sight seem bleak and desolate; but they are also filled with secret wonders; from the ancient Caledonian pine forests to the vast Flow Country; and from the sheer granite cliffs of Handa to the mysterious depths of Loch Ness. In this lavish companion to the BBC TV series Stephen Mosss thoughtful; authoritative text is accompanied by spectacular photography from Laurie Campbell. Highlands ndash; Scotlands Wild Heart follows a year in the lives of a stellar cast of wild animals as they live; feed; breed and die in this beautiful; yet unforgiving landscape ndash; a land where only the toughest survive.
