Highland Living: Landscape, Style, and Traditions of Scotland

The Scottish landscape has inspired writers-most notably Shakespeare with his Macbeth-and travelers for centuries. Scotland is a patchwork of stunning green valleys and windswept moors, scattered with the ruins of ancient strongholds, and at its heart lies the legendary Cawdor Castle, which exemplifies the essence of the Highlands. These stunning photographs from the Cawdor estate capture not only Scotland's national treasures, but the quintessence of the Scottish soul. Cawdor Castle epitomizes the distinguished Scottish lifestyle. Its cozy interiors, full of handcrafted furniture, tartan accessories, hunting trophies, and painted landscapes, will inspire the reader. Scotland's cultural traditions are celebrated with colorful displays of kilts and bagpipes; lush hunting tracks and bountiful fly fishing spots; the shady realm of Cawdor's gardens; and sumptuous culinary delicacies. Highland Living includes an address book of Scotland's best sites of interest for travelers, as well as traditional recipes for those seeking a taste of the Scottish lifestyle at home.
