A photographic journey through the flora and fauna of the Isle of Harris, Isle of Lewis and North Uist. These Outer Hebridean islands are home to a variety of habitats, including machair. Machair is one of the rarest habitats in the world, with only 25,000 hectares found between Scotland and Ireland. The summer carpets of colourful flowers, blooming across the machair grasslands, are home to an interesting variety of flowers, birds and insects. This book takes a visual journey through the machair to the moorland, hillsides and coastal regions of these stunning islands, highlighting key species, and explaining the local ecology along the way.
