Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Exceptional prose style. - A quality piece of travel writing centred around the Cairngorms in Scotland. I think the short book was written in the 1930s + the area was far less touristy than now + consequently she often on her rambles had the whole area to herself. She has a masterly prose style which makes the book exceptional; eg. at one point,contemplating a classic scene of a loch circled by rugged escarpment's, she writes about "the landscape owning the silence." Highly recommended. Review: Original, beautiful, a deeply satisfying read - I read and thoroughly enjoyed this quite wonderful love letter to the Cairngorms two years ago. Last week, I did something I rarely ever do , I re read it, a result of having taken a short walking holiday in these fascinating mountains in late May with warm sunshine aplenty but still much snow in the corries. Having been there and experienced just a little of this landscape that Nan Shepherd knew and loved so well, what was good now seems to have become inspirational and deeply moving ,in a way I normally only find with a great poem. There are so few places left in these Isles, perhaps none in England where grandeur, solitude, danger and beauty combine to such effect and certainly nowhere which has stirred such empathy, warmth and perceptive writing. Nam takes such pleasure in being in the landscape and for us there is the deep pleasure of sharing this with her. Hopefully, her powerful poems will soon be available on Kindle too but be no in doubt, this book will satisfy you in ways only the finest view or the finest dram or the finest love can ever do ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 5,761 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Mountaineering History & Biography 14 in Physical Geography 16 in Higher Education on Geography | | Book 3 of 3 | The Grampian Quartet | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,050) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 0.9 x 19.8 cm | | Edition | Main - Canons Imprint Re-issue | | ISBN-10 | 0857861832 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0857861832 | | Item weight | 113 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | 18 Aug. 2011 | | Publisher | Canongate Books Ltd | ## Images ![The Living Mountain (Canons): A Celebration of the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YVt1YpwIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional prose style. *by M***. on 4 December 2025* A quality piece of travel writing centred around the Cairngorms in Scotland.
