Sea kayaker Ed journeyed into the heart of the sea roads that make up the Scottish highlands and islands, blending the intensity of the journey with a careful observation of the natural world and first-hand knowledge of the challenges of living and working in this place. We travel low in the water with the restless sea ever-present, we camp on remote rough shores, and we share Ed’s feelings of wonder at the natural world. At the surface this is an adventure story, but at its heart it is a tale about belonging and a deep sense of place.
