White River: A Journey Up and Down the River Findhorn
Jamie Whittle
Jamie Whittle, traveller and environmental lawyer, returns to his origins by the River Findhorn in Morayshire to make the journey from its mouth to its source on foot, and to return again by canoe. It is familiar ground, but made new after his many travels about the world. From the interaction of traveller and river there arises a new lyricism that speaks of energy, dangers, wild places, of bounty taken from hard landscapes, of beauty and risk.
Reviews of White River: A Journey Up and Down the River Findhorn
'White River is a passionate and astute piece of work. A journey-book in the tradition of Basho's Narrow Road to a Far Province.' Robert Macfarlane 'This is a book that should be read by every student of the land, all those who work on the land, and everyone who finds renewal and recreation on it.' Cameron McNeish
