Amid the High Hills - The Natural History and Field Sports of the Scottish Islands (Hardcover)

First published in 1923 as a compendium of the various articles written by Hugh Fraser on sport and natural history, "Amid the High Hills," illustrated by many of his close colleagues, is an essential publication of its time. The author has compiled this work in hopes 'that these pages may bring back to some of my readers recollections of their own delightful days amid the High Hills." Fraser evokes the emotional subtleties experienced by a man's adventure in nature, particularly as he crosses the great wilderness of the Scottish landscape. He touches on all aspects of countryside pursuits, from salmon fishing to deer hunting.
