    About this ebook

    Compiling a lifetime of travel into one book, Clubley explores the Scottish islands with enthusiasm and love as he meets the locals, embraces the weather and admires their natural beauty. Covering a huge range of islands from Lewis to Colonsay, but also looking at issues such as the Gaelic language and preservation of community, Scotland's Islands paints an intriguing picture of life on the islands.

    Richard Clubley

    Richard Clubley lives in Derbyshire, which is not the most convenient place to stay if you love Scottish islands, so this year – 2017 – he is moving with his wife Beverly to Orkney. They are building a house in Orphir on Mainland with views over Scapa Flow. Although the phrase is a cliché it will be ‘a dream come true’. Richard has found Scottish islands endlessly fascinating since his very first one – Arran – at the age of eight. He has visited around 70 of them to date and they form the content of his first book Scotland’s Islands – A Special Kind of Freedom, published by Luath Press in 2014. As a schoolteacher Richard took several parties of children to uninhabited islands to share the unique experiences with a new generation. He knows of one or two from those early trips in the 1980s that are still hooked on island hopping. Richard is a regular contributor to Scottish Islands Explorer magazine and the online magazine Orkney.com. Writing this book and moving to Orkney do not presage an end to the infatuation but rather less flirting and a deeper love.
