The Living Mountain

A true masterpiece on nature writing, The Living Mountain follows the journey of author Nan Shepherd into the awe-inspiring Cairngorm mountains of Scotland.

Shepherd spent her life researching the Cairngorms, a mission which led her to document her findings. The manuscript was originally written during the Second World War and was untouched for over thirty years before being published.

Her travels through the mountains show just how changeable nature can be; from breathtakingly beautiful landscapes to unforgiving conditions. Shepherd keeps records of rocks, wildlife, rivers and all the hidden gems to be found in this magnificent landscape.
