Picturing Scotland: Dumfries & Galloway
(2nd edition, Expanded and Revised)
Content: This is the land that defines the south-western corner of Scotland, a region of great scenic variety, historical riches and cultural activity. Here, dramatic ancient stone settings provide windows onto mankind's early influence while many castles and abbeys testify to aspects of life in medieval times and today. Whithorn, in Wigtownshire, is the cradle of Christianity in Scotland because of its association with Scotland's first saint, Ninian. Wigtown itself is Scotland's National Book Town and home of the annual Wigtown Book Festival. The town of Kirkcudbright became an artists' colony from around 1850.
For a list of featured locations, see below.
Market: Books in this series are bought by visitors and locals alike to give as gifts or to keep for their own enjoyment. They are also helpful to those planning a visit as the book leads the reader on a geographical tour of the area. To visitors, they are a great reminder of a visit, while local people buy them to send to friends and family to show off where they live.
Author: Colin Nutt has worked in book publishing for over 40 years. He has written/compiled more than 50 books in this and other series. He lives in Elgin.
