Along the Divide: Walking the Wild Spine of Scotland

Chris Townsend

Chris Townsend embarks on a 700-mile walk along the spine of Scotland, the line of high ground where fallen rain runs either west to the Atlantic or east to the North Sea. Walking before the Independence Referendum of 2014, and writing after the EU Referendum of 2016, he reflects on: nature and history, conservation and rewilding, land use and literature, and change in a time of limitless potential for both better and worse.

Chris Townsend

Chris Townsend is probably the world’s best known long-distance walker who also writes. His many previous books include the Out There, winner of ORPG Outdoor Book of the Year 2016, Rattlesnakes and Bald Eagles, and Grizzly Bears and Razor Clams, all published by Sandstone Press.
