In the very north of Britain, far from the bustling cities and picturesque countryside to the south, lies Western Europe's greatest wilderness: the Scottish Highlands. This is a land shaped by the flow of ancient ice, where snow-capped mountains tower over ink-black lochs, golden eagles soar over heather-clad moors, and red deer stags engage in mortal combat for the right to win a mate. Sea cliffs and offshore islands teem with millions of seabirds, while the seas themselves are home to basking sharks, orcas and bottlenose dolphins. This book follows a year in the lives of a stellar cast of wild animals as they struggle to survive in this beautiful, yet unforgiving landscape - a land where only the toughest survive.
