When nature writer Mike Tomkies moved to a cottage on the shores of Loch Shiel in the Highlands of Scotland, he found a place that was to provide him with the most profound wilderness experience of his life. Accessible only by boat, the cottage, which he renamed 'Wildernesse' and shared with his beloved German Shepherd, Moobli, was his home for many years. In this remarkable book, he describes the whole cycle of nature through the seasons in a harsh and testing environment of unrivalled beauty. As well as offering extraordinary insights into the animals that shared his otherwise empty territory. A Last Wild Place is the moving and inspiring record of a life lived close to nature in one of Britain's most inaccessible corners. Book jacket.
