About this book

An Eye on the Hebrides: An Illustrated Journey by Hedderwick, Mairi. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780862412111.

This is a personal record of Mairi Hedderwicks six-month solitary journey of the archipelago which forms the Western Isles of Scotland. It was on a chilly March morning that Mairi set off in an aged VW camper van to embark upon her journey, determined to fulfil a fantasy of travelling to every Hebridean isle. It was an exhausting but rewarding six months. The resulting account of her travels and the many sketches she made shows the reader the islands in all their diversity. There are cameos of everyday life drawn with humour, alongside landscapes of the Hebrides. Mairi Hedderwick is the author of "Highland Journey".
