'A Scotsman's Odyssey' is a riveting account of four decades of sea adventures and exploration, written so vividly you can feel the salt spray in your face.Ian's maritime chronicle has something for everyone. His love of sailing has taken him to out-of-the-way places ranging from the sub-arctic Faroes Islands to the remote Barrier Reef islands in tropical Australia. 'A Scotsman's Odyssey' is a book as much about voyaging in the imagination as on the waves. It inspires cruising yachtsmen and yachtswomen to sail beyond their native shores, young readers to seize opportunities to sail on Ocean Youth Trust voyages, armchair sailors to journey to northern Europe and ancient Venetian ports in Greece and Croatia. Nature lovers will enjoy Ian's encounters with basking sharks, dolphins, killer and humpbacked whales, and even salt-water crocodiles.

Book Description
Wildlife occupy an incredibly special place in Scottish heritage. Many offer incredible spectacles, of course; but many are associated with so much more. Consider, for example, how various wildlife have fuelled some of the nation's most famous folktales and legends, and inspired its most prominent artists and authors. This book explores the rich abundance of ways in which the wildlife of Scotland have impacted us, and vice versa, through time, in an effort to broaden and deepen appreciation for the nation's wildlife.
