The Echoes of the Highlands
Echoes of the Highlands
A publishing strand that investigates regional Scottish history through tangible places and folklore, grounded in the genuine geography of the Highlands.
The approach
Field observation, archival record and careful illustration
Each volume brings together field observation, archival record, and careful illustration. The series stays close to real Highland geography, approaching folklore and local history without romanticised myth or tourist tropes.
Every title is built from places people can visit and records people can check, so the stories stay tied to the ground they come from.
