- Book Synopsis
- Made up of the old counties of Wigtownshire and The Stewartry, Galloway covers a vast swathe of Scotland's quiet southwest corner. This under-discovered area offers 260km of coast, full of sandy beaches and towering cliffs, lonely heather-clad moors and quiet hills. Add to this plenty of wildlife, a rich artistic heritage, strong spiritual influences and a climate kissed by the warming Gulf Stream, and you have a region beckoning to be visited. Darren Flint and Donald Greig's handpicked selection of 40 walks reveals the sheer variety of landscapes that makes Galloway so special - from the Mull of Galloway, Scotland?s most southerly point, to the sweeping Nith Estuary, via Merrick, Southern Scotland's highest hill, and plenty of hidden corners.
- About The Author
- Darren Flint has worked across the UK and Australia before recently settling as a relative newcomer in Dumfries and Galloway. He keeps his love affair with his home territory, East Anglia, alive with regular visits to his caravan in Suffolk. After a career in tourism development and then conservation with the RSPB, he completed a Masters in Environmental Conservation from UCL. An avid naturalist with a fascination for butterflies, he likes nothing better than donning his boots and uncovering those hidden corners we all dream about. He is the project officer for two community environmental ventures: Castle Loch in Lochmaben and Moffat Community Nature Reserve; as well as co-owner of Summerlea House B&B in Moffat.
