When I set out to walk Scotland beyond the postcard Highlands, I thought I knew what I would find: mountains and lochs, mist and history. What I discovered was far richer, more demanding, and more transformative than I imagined.From hidden glens where rivers sing through mossy silence, to the Cuillin ridges of Skye that test body and spirit, to the vast white sands of the Outer Hebrides where the Atlantic shapes every breath-this is the story of my journey through the edges of Scotland.Told in the footsteps of long days and storm-lashed nights, this book is not only a chronicle of landscapes but of what walking them does to the walker. It is about rain that teaches patience, wind that strips you to humility, and moments of beauty that stop you cold on the path.Scotland Beyond the Highlands is more than a travelogue; it is an invitation to walk slower, listen deeper, and find strength in smallness. If you have ever longed for wildness, for silence, for the kind of journey that leaves you changed, then perhaps these glens and islands are waiting for you too.
